Answer: 6 valence electrons

Explanation: the valence electron is the number of electron in the outermost shell of an atom.

Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. The electronic configuration will be 1s2 2s2 2p4 or 2, 6. Meaning the last shell is having 6 electrons and this is equivalent to the valence electron

Stoichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.

31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65
⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag
       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5


There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.
