Answer:

125000

Explanation:

Because it is halved and halved again.

Half life - when half of the radioactive substance has become stable

500,000/2 = 250,000 remaining after the first half life

250,000/2 = 125,000 remaining after the second


Or alternatively 1/4 x 500,000 = 125,000

The latent heat of melting is 80 calories for 1 gram of ice. if 1 gram of ice absorbs 60 calories what do i get?
Eva8 [605]
Latent heat of melting is the energy that a solid absorbs to change its phase as its liquid. During this process, since all energy is used to change the phase, the temperature is constant.

Here the latent energy of melting for 1 g of ice is 80 calories and that 1 g of ice only absorbed 60 calories. hence the phase is not changed because it requires more 20 calories to melt.

Hence 1 g of ice remains as its solid phase (ice).
