The answer is (2). You can think about this question in terms of the Bohr's model of the atom or in terms of quantum chemistry. In the Bohr model, electrons exist in discrete "shells," each respresenting a fixed spherical distance from the nucleus in which electrons of certain energy levels orbit the nucleus. The larger the shell (the greater the "orbit" radius), the greater the energy of the "orbiting" electron (I use quotations because electrons don't actually orbit the nucleus in the traditional sense, as you may know). Thus, according to the Bohr model, a third shell electron should be farther from the nucleus and have greater energy than an electron in the first shell.
The quantum model is differs drastically from the Bohr model in many ways, but the essence is the same. A larger principal quantum number indicates 1) greater overall energy and 2) a probability distribution spread a bit more outward.
Answer:
ΔH°rxn = -827.5 kJ
Explanation:
Let's consider the following balanced equation.
2 PbS(s) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 PbO(s) + 2 SO₂(g)
We can calculate the standard enthalpy of reaction (ΔH°rxn) from the standard enthalpies of formation (ΔH°f) using the following expression.
ΔH°rxn = [2 mol × ΔH°f(PbO(s)) + 2 mol × ΔH°f(SO₂(g)
)] - [2 mol × ΔH°f(PbS(s)) + 3 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g)
)]
ΔH°rxn = [2 mol × ΔH°f(PbO(s)) + 2 mol × ΔH°f(SO₂(g)
)] - [2 mol × ΔH°f(PbS(s)) + 3 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g)
)]
ΔH°rxn = [2 mol × (-217.32 kJ/mol) + 2 mol × (-296.83)] - [2 mol × (-100.4) + 3 mol × 0 kJ/mol]
ΔH°rxn = -827.5 kJ
Answer : The formula of the gas produced is,
(phosphine gas)
Explanation :
According to the question, when sodium phosphide is treated with water then it react to give phosphine gas and sodium hydroxide.
The balanced chemical reaction will be:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction we can say that:
1 mole of sodium phosphide reacts with 3 moles of water to give 1 mole of phosphine gas and 3 moles of sodium hydroxide.
Thus, the formula of the gas produced is,
(phosphine gas)
