Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an element on the periodic table. Atoms want to be able to have a full outer shell and they can share or trade electrons in order to achieve this. Valence electrons are also super super important in chemical reactions. The number of valence electrons determines what group that specific atom or element is in on the periodic table. This affects the reactivity of the element.

28.7 l of propane, c3h8, are consumed in a combustion reaction. how many grams of water are produced?

lora16 [44]

The chemical reaction would be:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

For this case, we assume that gas is ideal thus in every 1 mol the volume would be 22.41 L. We calculate as follows:

28.7 L C3H8 ( 1 mol / 22.41 L ) ( 4 mol H2O / 1 mol C3H8 ) ( 18.02 g / mol ) = 92.31 g H2O produced

Hope this answers the question.
