Given the equation 2mg(s) + o2(g) → 2mgo(s) + 72.3 kj, how much heat is involved in the production of 5.0 mol of mgo? question 2 options: 36kj 180 kj 510 kj 360 kj

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
