How many moles of sodium chloride (nacl) solute are in 315 grams of a 91.0 percent by mass solution?
3.46 mol nacl
4.90 mol nacl
5.37 mol nacl
5.92 mol nacl

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: )
