Question

select the correct answer. a hockey player has the puck in the corner of the rink. an opposing player muscles him aside and emerges with the puck. this situation is most analogous to which kind of reaction? a. double - replacement b. combustion c. combination d. single - replacement e. decomposition

Explanation:

In a single - replacement reaction, one element replaces another element in a compound. Here, one player (element) replaces another player in possession of the puck (similar to an element in a compound), which is analogous to a single - replacement reaction. In double - replacement, two compounds exchange ions; combustion involves a substance reacting with oxygen; combination is when two or more substances combine to form one; decomposition is when one substance breaks down into two or more.

Answer:

D. single - replacement
