Concept:
<em><u>Latent Heat of Vaporization</u></em>: It is defined as the amount of heat required to change the state of mater without changing of its temperature.
From the given question, the temperature at the boiling point remained constant despite the continued addition of heat by the Bunsen burner. <em>Actually,</em> this amount of heat is used by water to break the intermolecular bonds between the water molecules in the form of latent heat that converts the liquid state of water into vapor state of water.
Hence, the correct option will be d.<u>The energy was used to break the intermolecular bonds between the water molecules. </u>
The product of a reaction between these two elements is 
.
Explanation:
The oxidation state of an ion in a compound is equal to its charge.
The aluminum having a charge of +3 because oxidation state is +3
The oxide is having charge of -2
The product of these reactants will produce a chemical compound.
The compound formed is i.e Aluminium oxide. The compound while getting formed will share the charge and cation A+ will have the charge of anion and anion will have the charge of cation. This will result in a compound as there should be a neutral charge on the compound formed.
The <em>+</em><em>3 charge of the cation Al+ will go to anion oxide O2- and the charge of anion -2 will go with cation Al+. </em>

The greatest amount of energy released per gram of reactants occurs during a (1) redox reaction, although it should be noted that there are exceptions depending on environment.
