The correct option is this: THE FIRST ATOM EMITS LIGHT WITH MORE ENERGY.

In the question given above, the level 1 mentioned in the question refers to the ground state of the electrons while level 2 and level 3 refer to excited states of hydrogen electrons. When an atom is in an excited state, it possess more energy and it is unstable, thus, it tends to return to the ground state after sometime to attain stability. As the atom return to the ground state, it loses its energy by emitting light. The higher the level of excitation, the more the light that will be emitted when the atom is returning to the ground state. Thus, an atom returning to the ground state from level 3 has more energy and will emit more light when returning to the ground state than an electron in level 2.

Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) decomposes to form mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2). The balanced chemical equation is shown below.
zavuch27 [327]

15.63 mol. You need 15.63 mol HgO to produce 250.0 g O_2.

<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>grams of O_2 to moles of O_2</em>

Moles of O_2 = 250.0 g O_2 × (1 mol O_2/32.00 g O_2) = 7.8125 mol O_2

<em>Step 2</em>. Use the molar ratio of HgO:O_2 to convert <em>moles of O_2 to moles of HgO </em>

Moles of HgO = 0.8885 mol O_2 × (2 mol HgO/1 mol O_2) = <em>15.63 mol HgO</em>
