Answer: B
Explanation: Graph B compares the two temperatures on separate lines so that we can see the comoparison directly, as a function of time. Not only does the graph quickly answer which condition id most favorable to colony growth, but it also hints at some behaviors that may accelerate growth as time goes on. Graph C is a possible answer, if the <u>only</u> question is which promotes growth the fastest. But the questions asks "compare," which Graph B does not allow as well as Graph C.
<u>Answer:</u> The symbol of the ion formed is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.
- When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
- When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.
Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.
The element present in Group 2-A and in period 4 is Calcium (Ca)
Electronic configuration of Ca atom: 
This atom will loose 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration similar to Argon element (noble gas)
The electronic configration of 
Hence, the symbol of the ion formed is
The final temperature of the mass of gold is 737 °C.
<h3>What is the specific heat capacity of gold?</h3>
The specific heat capacity of gold is 0.126 J/g/K
The final temperature, T2 of the gold is calculated as follows:
T2 = T + Q/mc
where;
T is initial temperature, m is mass, and c is specific heat capacity of gold.
T2 = 27 + 2.3 x 1000/(25 x 0.126)
T2 = 737 °C
Therefore, the mass and heat capacity of gold determines its final temperature.

Answer: exothermic
Explanation: chemical reactions that release energy is called exothermic, and in this case, more energy is being released. (I THINK)
