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 3.3 hours. If 1 gram of this isotope is present initially, how long will it take for 80% of the lead to decay

Achemical reaction (also known as a chemical change) produces substances that are chemically different from the starting materials. an example of a chemical reaction is the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen gas.in a physical change, a substance changes its physical appearance but not its chemical identity. an example of physical change is the formation of liquid water from solid water, a familiar process called melting. physically, liquid water looks very different from solid water (ice) but the chemical identity, water, is the same for both. which of following changes that affect the composition of our atmosphere involve physical changes and which involve chemical reactions? oxygen gas changes to ozone during thunderstorms carbon dioxide is produced by the combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine. when coal, oil, and natural gas are decomposed in landsills they produce methane gas. freezing rain develops when a warm air mass overrides a cold air mass. fog forms from water vapor when the temperature drops below the dew point

Many bird species build nests in which they raise their offspring. one of these species is known as the magnolia warbler. breeding pairs of magnolia warblers build nests out of pieces of grass and twigs. the female warbler will then lay her eggs in the nest and sit on the eggs for a few weeks until they hatch. after the offspring have hatched, the female will continue to sit on the newborn chicks to keep them warm. both the male and the female bring food for the offspring to eat until the young are mature enough to find food on their own. which of these most likely describes why birds such as the magnolia warbler build nests in which to raise their offspring? a. nest building decreases the amount of energy used by the parent birds to raise their offspring to adulthood. b. nest building increases the probability that the offspring will survive and eventually produce offspring of their own. c. nest building decreases the amount of food that the offspring require the adult birds to provide. d. nest building increases the probability of the offspring being located by airborne predators.
