Which of the following reactions is NOT properly classified? (A) Synthesis - MgO + CO2 → MgCO3
(8) Decomposition - 2 Fe(OH)3 → Fe2O3 + 3 H2O
(c) Combustion - CO2 + 2 H2O → CH4 + 2 02
(D) Synthesis – 2 Na + Cl2 → 2 NaCl

I uploaded the answer to a file hosting. Here's link:

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: )

a). in this case, dh> 0 and sd> 0. if t becomes larger, the term "-tds" will become more negative. at some point, it is possible that -dts will be more negative than the dh is positive, and the reaction will become spontaneous. this is probably the correct answer, but you should look at all of the other possibilities and make sure of that.
