The answer to this question would be: C) a single replacement reaction

In single replacement reaction the molecule made in just one with an element. In this case, the compound is just swapping its element with a more reactive one, results in a more stable compound.
Contrast to the single replacement reaction, double replacement reaction or metathesis is the reaction which results in two new compounds. The cation from the molecule reaction is switching with the cation from other molecules. 
In contrast to the double replacement reaction,

Neon is an inert gas and has the atomic number of 10. Which of the following correctly depicts its electron configuration? 1s22d
weeeeeb [17]
I think the answer is 1s²2s²2p⁶.  Since neon has an atomic number of 10, we know that it needs to have 10 electrons and since it is in the second row it cannot have any d electrons which makes the first option incorrect.  The second option is incorrect because the 2s⁴ can't exist since s orbitals can only hold 2 electrons.  The fourth option cannot be right because it again neon cannot have d electrons due to it being in the second row.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

The radioactive isotope of lead, Pb-209, decays at a rate proportional to the amount present at time t and has a half-life of 3.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

Explanation:

The differential equation for decay is

\frac{dA}{dt}= kA

\Rightarrow \frac{dA}{A}=kdt

Integrating both sides

ln A= kt+c₁

\Rightarrow A= e^{kt+c_1}

\Rightarrow A=Ce^{kt}         [e^{c_1}=C]

The initial condition is A(0)= A₀,

\therefore A_0=Ce^{0.k}

\Rightarrow C=A_0

\therefore A=A_0e^{kt}.........(1)

Given that the Pb_{209}  has half life of 3.3 hours.

For half life A=\frac12 A_0 putting this in equation (1)

\frac12A_0=A_0e^{k\times3.3}

\Rightarrow ln(\frac12)= 3.3k     [taking ln both sides, ln \ e^a=a]

\Rightarrow k=\frac{ln \frac12}{3.3}

⇒k= - 0.21

Now A₀= 1 gram, 80%=0.8

and A= (1-0.8)A₀ = (0.2×1) gram = 0.2 gram

Now putting the value of k,A and A₀in the equation (1)

\therefore 0.2=1e^{(-0.21)\times t}

\Rightarrow e^{-0.21t}=0.2

\Rightarrow -0.21t= ln(0. 2)

\Rightarrow t= \frac{ln (0.2)}{-0.21}

⇒ t≈7.66

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

How is genetic information is the same as a plum tree.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

This work was done in the European plum (Prunus domestica). The gene for PPV coat protein was separated from the PPV virus and inserted into the plum DNA, which was then regenerated and grown into complete plum trees. These trees now had the additional gene in their DNA and became resistant to PPV.

Why are changes of state, for example, liquid water changing to steam, not considered to be chemical changes?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

A liquid changing to a gas is considered a physical change because it involves a change in one or more physical properties, but no change in the fundamental components that make up the substance.
