Ductility is a physical property.
A physical property of a material is a property that can be measured or observed without changing the composition of the material.
In this case ductility is a physical property. It is defined as the property of a material associated with the ability to be drawn or stretched into a wire without breaking. The chemical identity of the material is not affected, that is it does not change.
Example of ductile materials include gold, silver, copper, erbium, terbium and samarium.
Other examples of physical properties are:
1. Solubility
2. Melting point.
3. Boiling point.
4. Color
5. Density.
The answer would be 25%
Carbon 14 is radioactive material with 5700 year of half-time which will change it into carbon-12, a more stable substance. If the age of the fossil is 11,400 years old, then the amount of half-time passed would be: 11,400 years/ (5,700years/ half-time)= 2 half-time.
Since it undergo 2 half-time, the percentage should be: 100% * (1/2)^2= 25%
It is stored in the hypothalamus, but is secreted by the pituitary gland. Hope this helped!
If a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell would shrink.
Hypertonic solution means that the solution has a lower water potential than the other side (which is the cell's cytoplasm in this case), and by that, water molecules would have a tendency to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. This movement of water molecules is called osmosis. But note that a semi-permeable membrane (a membrane which can decide what substances can go in and out, the cell membrane is an example) has to be present in osmosis, or else the movement may be regarded as diffusion.
As the water molecules flowed away from the red blood cell cytoplasm, the cell loss so much water that the membrane has nothing much to hold and thus the cell shrinks.
