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.

What is the ph of a solution made by mixing 25.00 ml of 0.100 m hcl with 40.00 ml of 0.100 m koh? assume that the volumes of the
Digiron [165]
<span>Answer: The HCl and KOH will react until one or the other is gone. As you have a larger volume of an equal concentration of HCl, the KOH will go first. moles HCl = 0.04000 L * 0.100 M = 0.00400 moles moles KOH = 0.02500 L * 0.100 M = 0.00250 moles moles HCl left = 0.00400 - 0.00250 = 0.00150 moles Your total volume is now 65.00 mL, so the [HCl] = 0.00150 moles / 0.06500 L = 0.0231 M = [H+] pH = -log [H+] = -log (0.0231) = 1.64</span>

Question 3 of 5
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

A. More mass

C. Shorter distance between them

Explanation:

The two characteristics of a body experiencing greater gravitational force are that they have mass and a shorter distance between them.

This is conformity with Newton's law of universal gravitation.

The law states that "every object attracts one another with a force that is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

This law implies that the more the mass of two bodies, the more the gravitational force of attraction. And that the shorter the square of the distance between them, the more the attraction.
