The specific heat capacity the substance is calculated using the below formula
Q(heat) = Mc delta T
Q =1560 cal
m(mass) 312 g
delta T (change in temperature ) = 15 c
C= specific heat capacity=?
by making c the subject of the formula
c=Q/m delta T
= 1560 cal/ 312g x 15 c = 0.33 cal/g/c (answer B)
Explanations:- Part 1: We could count the total number of electrons by looking at the electron configurations. Both of these electrons configurations have 47 electrons. If we look at the periodic table then 47 is the atomic number of silver. So, the name of the element is silver and its represented as Ag.
Part 2: As per the rule, Completely filled and half filled orbitals are more stable. First electron configuration has 9 electrons in 4d and we know that d is more stable if it has 5 electrons(half filled) or it has 10 electrons(full filled).
For stability reasons, one of the electron from 5s goes to 4d and for this reason the second electron configuration is found most often in nature for silver.
Few other examples are Cr and Cu.

Answer:</h3>
Lead-205 (Pb-205)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
We are supposed to identify its product after an alpha decay;
- Polonium-209 has a mass number of 209 and an atomic number of 84.
- When an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
- Therefore, when Po-209 undergoes alpha decay it results to the formation of a product with a mass number of 205 and atomic number of 82.
- The product from this decay is Pb-205, because Pb-205 has a mass number of 205 and atomic number 82.
- The equation for the decay is;
²⁰⁹₈₄Po → ²⁰⁵₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
- Note; An alpha particle is represented by a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous because it binds with hemoglobin in the blood.
Hemoglobin is made up of proteins that bind to iron atoms. The structure of the protein facilitates loose binding of oxygen. On other hand, Carbon monoxide binds very strongly to the iron in hemoglobin. Once carbon monoxide is bonded to hemoglobin, it is very difficult to release. This, eventually results in blood losing it its ability to transport oxygen. Hence, the person will suffocate. Due to this, CO is dangerous.
Hg = (3.2 : 4.2) x 100% = 76.19%
O = (1 : 4.2) x 100% = 23.81%
