Teh decomposition of sulfuryl chloride, SO2Cl2, to sulfur dioxide and chlorine gases is a first order reaction. It is found that a certain temperature, it takes 1.43 hours to decompose 0.0714 M. What is the rate constant for the decomposition? Rate constant= hr-1

its not a choice. you dont choose if you want to be gay or straight.

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: )
