A 15.00 % by mass solution of lactose (C 12H 22O 11, 342.30 g/mol) in water has a density of 1.0602 g/mL at 20°C. What is the molarity of this solution

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: )
