Calcium phosphate used in fertilizers can be made in the reaction described by the fol-
lowing equation:
2H3PO4(aq) + 3Ca(OH)(aq) —
Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6H2O(aq)
What mass in grams of each product would
be formed if 7.5 L of 5.00 M phosphoric acid
reacted with an excess of calcium hydroxide?

the answer to your question is c

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!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
