F. None of the above [Cl^(-) is oxidized]

No Cl atoms are available to be oxidized, only Cl^(-)ions

2Cl^(-) → Cl_2 + 2e^(-)

The substance that loses electrons is oxidized.

Remember OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Loss of electrons) and

LEO the lion says GER (Loss of Electrons is Oxidation).

Answer: The gas produced when sodium phosphide reacts with water is phosphine.

Explanation:

When sodium phosphide reacts with water molecule, it leads to the production of flammable, poisonous gas known as phosphine along with the production of sodium hydroxide.

The chemical reaction for the reaction of sodium phosphide with water follows the equation:

$Na_3P(aq.)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow PH_3(g)+3NaOH(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sodium phosphide reacts with 3 moles of water to produce 1 mole of phosphine gas and 3 moles of sodium hydroxide.

Hence, the gas produced when sodium phosphide reacts with water is phosphine.
