When the following molecular equation is balanced using the smallest possible integer coefficients, the values of these coefficients are: calcium hydroxide(aq) + hydrochloric acid (aq) > calcium chloride(aq) + water (l)

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!
