Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons. There are two ways in which atoms can satisfy the octet rule

Nadya [2.5K]

The formula of acetic acid is CH3COOH => C2H4O2.

So, the acetic acid has the same number of atoms of carbon (C) than of oxygen (O).

Therefore, the sample that contains 96.5 moles of carbon, will contain also 96.5 moles of O.

Answer: 96.5 moles of oxygen.
