Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case, the halflife of the radioactive isotope is 5000 years. 
Initially the mass is 100 %; thus the mass that will be left will be given by;
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n where n is the number of half lives; 
  n = 10000/5000 = 2
New mass = 100% ×(1/2)^2
                 = 100 % × 1/4 
                 = 25%
Therefore; the mass left after 10000 years is 25% or 1/4 of the original mass.

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 55.0 g sample of water by 65.0 oC.
sveticcg [70]

Answer: 14943.5 J

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Given that,

Q = ?

Mass of water = 55.0g

C = 4.18 J/g°C

Φ = 65.0°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 55.0g x 4.18 J/g°C x 65.0°C

Q = 14943.5 J

Thus, 14943.5 joules of heat is needed to raise the temperature of water.

What is the weighted average of a nail in the sample data given?
Natalka [10]

The weighted average of the nail in accordance with the given data is 11.176g.

<h3>How to calculate weighted average?</h3>

Weighted average is an arithmetic mean of values biased according to agreed weightings.

The weighted average of the nail in the image above can be calculated by multiplying the decimal abundance with the mass of the nail, then summed up as follows;

Weighted average = (decimal abundance × mass 1) + (decimal abundance × mass 2)

Weighted average = (0.12 × 3.3) + (0.88 × 12.25)

Weighted average = 0.396 + 10.78

Weighted average = 11.176g

Therefore, 11.176g is the weighted average of the nail

Seawater has a ph of 8.1. what is the concentration of oh–?
lara31 [8.8K]
PH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is.
pH can be calculated as follows;
by knowing the ph we can calculate pOH
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 8.1 
pOH = 5.9 
pOH is used to calculate the hydroxide ion concentration 
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 1.26 x 10⁻⁶ M
therefore hydroxide ion concentration is 1.26 x 10⁻⁶ M
