Acube of iron (cp = 0.450 j/g•°c) with a mass of 55.8 g is heated from 25.0°c to 49.0°c. how much heat is required for this process? rounded to three significant figures.

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: )
