I know for number 4 the answer is c, sorry I can't help with the others.
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
<u>Answer:</u> The gas produced when sodium phosphide reacts with water is phosphine.
<u>Explanation:</u>
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:

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.
