56. What would be the valence electrons of 14Si, 16S, 32Ge respectively? A. 4, 2,2
B. 4, 6,8
C. 4, 6,6
D. 4,6,4

D. 4,6,4

Explanation:

The valence electron is the electron found in the outermost shell of an atom, and participates in bond formation.

For the following element, the valence electron can be noticed when we write the electronic configuration of each element.

Silicon =  1s2 2s2 2P6 3s2 3p2

Sulphur = 1s2 2s2 2P6 3s2 3p4

Germanium =  1s2 2s2 2P6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p2

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"
