The energy content of food is typically determined using a bomb calorimeter. Consider the combustion of a 0.22-g sample of butter in a bomb calorimeter having a heat capacity of 2.67 kJ/°C. If the temperature of the calorimeter increases from 23.5°C to 26.1°C, calculate the energy of combustion per gram of butter. Energy of combustion = kJ/g

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: )
