Suppose a chemical reaction generated a 50% nitrogen/50% oxygen (by volume) mixture of gas that had a total volume of 22.4 liters at stp. how many moles of oxygen does this mixture contain?

Explanation:

The elements will lose or gain electrons as needed to have an electron configuration that matches a noble gas. ... Suppose a chemical reaction generated a 50% nitrogen/50% oxygen (by volume) mixture of gas that had a total volume of 22.4 liters at STP.

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: )
