Valency, the combining capacity of an element, is equal to the number of electrons needed, or required to be removed from the outermost shell of the atom of that element, to have a complete 'octet'. The helium atom has only the 1s orbital in its only shell, and it is completely filled with 2 electrons. Its electronic configuration is 1s2.<span>Therefore, helium and the other inert gases with complete octets normally do not take part in chemical reactions. They are considered as zero-valent elements.</span>

What mass of S8 will completely react with 167.6 grams of Fe?
IRISSAK [1]
Answer:
mass of S₈ = 96.1146 grams

Explanation:
The balanced equation that describe the reaction is as follows:
8 Fe + S₈ ..............> 8 FeS

From the equation, we can note that:
8 moles of Fe react with 1 mole of S₈
This means that:
8 * 55.8 grams of iron react with 8 * 32 grams of S₈.
To know the mass of S₈ that will react with 167.6 grams of Fe, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:
mass of S₈ = (167.6 * 8 * 32) / (8 * 55.8)
mass of S₈ = 96.1146 grams

Hope this helps :)
