Acompound has the formula ch3co2h. r how should the relative molecular mass, mr, of this compound be calculated? a 12 1 16b 3(12 1) 2(12 16) 1c (4 x 12) (2 x 1) 16d (2 x 12) (4 x 1) (2 x 16)

the law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products. because atoms are only rearranged in a chemical reaction, there must be the same number of sodium atoms and chlorine atoms in both the reactants and products

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: )
