Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of Si is 14 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{2}.

Atomic number of P is 15 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{3}.

Atomic number of Al is 13 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{1}.

Atomic number of S is 16 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{4}.

To completely fill 3p orbital, sulfur will readily accept two electrons as it is more electronegative. Thus, by gaining two electrons it will become stable in nature.

Therefore, we can conclude that atoms of sulfur (S) will have the strongest attraction for the electrons in a chemical bond.

2h3po4 + 3mg(oh)2 → mg3(po4)2 + 6h2o phosphoric acid, h3po4, is neutralized by magnesium hydroxide, mg(oh)2, according to the eq
Rina8888 [55]
The balanced equation for the neutralisation reaction is as follows
2H₃PO₄ + 3Mg(OH)₂ --> Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O
stoichiometry of H₃PO₄ to H₂O is 2:6
number of H₃PO₄ moles reacted - 0.24 mol
if 2 mol of H₃PO₄ form 6 mol of H₂O
then 0.24 mol of H₃PO₄ forms - 6/2 x 0.24 = 0.72 mol of H₂O
therefore 0.72 mol of H₂O are formed

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation:

<h3> <em>Aluminum would be the best choice to reuse  copper from the copper chloride solution because it  In the aluminum–copper reaction, the chloride ions help remove the aluminum oxide coating so that a reaction can take place through the oxidation of aluminum and the reduction of copper ions.The aluminum–copper chloride reaction is a simplified version of a waste reclamation and reduction strategy for handling toxic-waste materials. </em></h3>
