Answer:
The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity
Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago
Explanation:
All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.
Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)
For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1
Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.
Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.
For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
8 because atomic number is the same as number of protons, protons and electrons have the same amount so that the element is neither positive nor negative.
Answer:
In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.

That is what I think on the subject
Answer:
Hydrosulfuric acid will act as limiting reactant.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of iron(III) chloride = 3243.0 g
Mass of hydrosulfuric acid = 511.8 g
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2FeCl₃ + 3H₂S → Fe₂S₃ + 6HCl
Number of moles of iron(III) chloride:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 3243.0 g/ 162.2 g/mol
Number of moles = 20 mol
Number of moles of hydrosulfuric acid:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 511.8 g/ 34.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 15 mol
Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with products
FeCl₃ : Fe₂S₃
2 : 1
20 : 1/2 ×20 = 10
FeCl₃ : HCl
2 : 6
20 : 6/2 ×20 = 60
H₂S : Fe₂S₃
3 : 1
15 : 1/3 ×15 = 5
H₂S : HCl
3 : 6
15 : 6/3 ×15 = 30
Hydrosulfuric acid producing less number of moles of product thus, it will act as limiting reactant.
