Phosphorus is directly under nitrogen in the periodic table and forms a compound similar to that of ammonia. The compound has the empirical formula PH3 and it is called phosphine. It can be prepared by the reaction: P(s) + 3NaOH(aq) + 3H20 (l) PH3(g) +3NaH2
If 0.610 g of phosphorus and 0.250 g of NaOH are reacted with H2O() in excess, how many grams of phosphine will be obtained?​

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

the right answer is c i just did the question.

i think it's letter a.
