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.

A cube of an unknown metal is 1.25 inches on each side and has a mass of 128.3741 g. What is its' density?
Mademuasel [1]
Hey there!

To find the density of an object, you must use this formula:
Density=Mass/Volume

Knowing that your mass is 128.3741, the only information you need left would be to find the volume of the cube.

Because the side length of the cube is given, you can multiply the length three times in order to find its volume:
1.25*1.25*1.25
=1.953125

Now that you have your volume and mass, divide the mass by the volume to find the density:
128.3741/1.953125
=65.7275392

Therefore, your density would be 65.7275392 grams per inches cubed.

Calculate the mass percent of 0.485 g of H, which reacts with oxygen to form 2.32 g H2O
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Mass % of hydrogen = 20.9 %

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 0.485 g

Mass of water = 2.32 g

Mass percent of hydrogen = ?

Solution:

Mass % of hydrogen = mass of hydrogen / mass of water × 100

Mass % of hydrogen = 0.485 g/ 2.32 g × 100

Mass % of hydrogen = 0.209  × 100

Mass % of hydrogen = 20.9 %
