(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Possible reason for arsenic toxicity based on its position in the periodic table should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
- The elements with same valence electrons have similar properties and are placed in the same group in periodic table.
- Both phosphorus and arsenic are in group 5A and have similar properties.
- Phosphorus plays important role in the biological activity of human.
- Phosphorous can be easily replaced by this arsenic in the
metabolic pathways where phosphorus is highly needed and leads to toxicity.

- Bucks McGee, after being poisoned, is currently being treated in the hospital with an antidote- the chemical Fe-(CN)18. The compound is so intensely coloured that even a small amount of it makes for a black or dark blue suspension. Given that this antidote has never before been administered at the hospital, none of the doctors or nurses have experience with it. There is one very old bottle of Fe-(CN)18 pills in the medicine store-room, but the label is worn and the units are in the old, archaic British Apothecaries' system which has unusual units like drachms, scruples, grains, and mites: 453.6 grams (g) = 1 pound (Ib) = 12 ounces (3) = 96 drachms (3) = 288 scruples (3) = 5760 grains (gr) = 115200 mites (m)arrow_forwardA 67.2 g sample of gold and palladium allo contains 3.40x10^23 atoms.
