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.

Why cant (NaCl) light the bulb until the NaCl is dissolved in water. *
Aneli [31]

Answer:

NaCl will only conduct electricity in solutions

Explanation:

For electrical conduction, free mobile electrons as seen in most metals must be present or ions which are charged particles must be available for solutions and molten substances.

  • Sodium chloride is an ionic compound without free mobile electrons or ions despite being ionic.
  • It will maintain a subtle and unique charge stability when in solid form.
  • In solid, the ions are not free to move and remain locked up in the solid mass.
  • When introduced into a solution, the ions becomes free to move and this will aid electrical conduction.

Describe porosity and how that affects groundwater infiltration.
algol13
It’s the measure of spaces between objects. It affects groundwater infiltration by having more water fill the spaces between it. For example, is you have bigger rocks the spaces between it are bigger therefore the groundwater infiltration rate is faster. If the rocks are smaller, they are tightly packed and it’s not easy for groundwater infiltration.
