There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. The net reaction is: Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant in terms of the equilibrium constants and . If you need to include any physical constants, be sure you use their standard symbols, which you'll find in the ALEKS Calculator.

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!
