Elements which appear in the same column have similar properties (periodicity). For example, all of the elements in group XVII (17), the Halogens, all react in a similar fashion; they all like to attract one additional electron and form a -1 anion.
Answer:

Explanation:
The molecular formula of the monohydrate formed = 
The molecular mass of the monohydrate formed = 
So, Mass = 24 + 14 + 6 × 1 + 5 × 16 = 155 g
Mass of phosphorus = 31 g
Thus,

Answer:
Reaction mechanism has been given below
Explanation:
- Propanoyl chloride contains an electrophilic carbonyl center to give nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction by removing Cl group with a strong nucleophile like methylmagnesium bromide.
- Two equivalent of methyl magnesium bromide react with cabonyl center followed by protonation of negatively charged oxygen atom gives 2-methyl-2-butanol.
- In the first step, nucleophilic acyl substituion occurs. In the second step, nucleophilic addition occurs. In the third step, protonation occurs.
- Reaction mechanism has been shown below.
12 moles are needed because stoichiometry is 1:2
