4 liters of the 10% solution are needed.

ω₁ = 4% ÷ 100% = 0.04; mass percentage of 8 liters solution

V₁ = 8 L; volume of 4% solution

ω₂ = 10% ÷ 100% = 0.1; mass percentage of solution

ω₃ = 6% ÷ 100% = 0.06; mass percentage of the final 6% solution

V₂ = ?; volume of 10% solution

V₃ = V₁ + V₂; volume of the final 6% solution

ω₁ · V₁ + ω₂ ·V₂ = ω₃ · V₃; formula to calculate volume of the solution

0.04 · 8 L + 0.1 · V₂ = 0.06 · (8 L + V₂)

0.32 L +  0.1 · V₂ = 0.48 L + 0.06 · V₂

The object would not float but sink in water.

The term density refers to the ratio of the mass to the volume of a body. Now that we know that the density of water is 1 g/cm^3. A substance that would float in water must have a lower density than that of water.

Thus;

Mass of the object = 569 kg or 569000 g

Volume of the object = 74.0 cm x 55.0 cm x 35.0 cm = 142450cm^3

Density of the object = mass/ volume = 569000 g/142450cm^3

=  3.99 g/cm^3

Hence, the object would not float but sink in water.

In physics, mass is a numerical representation of inertia, which is a basic characteristic of all matter. The resistance a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or location as a result of the application of a force is what it is in essence. The change a force applies produces a change that is smaller the more mass a body has.

The kilogram, which is defined in terms of Planck's constant as equal to 6.62607015 × 10^ -34 joule second, is the unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). One kilogram times one square meter per second squared is equivalent to one joule.

The small intestine is the site of digestion and absorption of minerals and vitamins and the rest of the water material is passed into the large intestine.

The small intestine has a highly coiled structure of about 7.5 meters in length. In the small intestine, the acidic chyme is mixed with pancreatic juice, bile juice, and intestinal juice and comes into contact with the enterocytes present in the villi. Digestion of all nutrients is complete. Carbohydrates get broken down into monosaccharides. Proteins are broken down into amino acids. Absorption of nutrients through the enterocytes occurs through diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Water present in the digested food is absorbed by osmosis. Smaller fat-soluble substances (fatty acids and glycerol) diffuse through the cell membranes. Larger molecules are transported inside the villi by other transport mechanisms.

Monosaccharides and amino acids move into the blood capillaries present in the villi. Fatty acids and glycerol move into the lacteals and the thoracic duct through the lymphatic vessels. From there, they enter circulation. Some proteins are absorbed unchanged. For example, antibodies present in breast milk or poliomyelitis vaccine are absorbed directly. Vitamins, minerals, and water are absorbed from the small intestine into blood capillaries. Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed along with fatty acids and glycerol into the lacteals. Vitamin B2 is absorbed in the terminal ileum. Out of all the fluid entering the alimentary tract every day, only 1500 ml is not absorbed in the small intestine and passes into the large intestine.

Therefore, the small intestine is the site of digestion and absorption of minerals and vitamins and the rest of the water material is passed into the large intestine.

Having a half-life of 61 days, iodine-125 would take 122 days for a 0.25 g of iodine-125 to remain from 1.00 g of it.

Half-life, an aspect of radioactive decay, is defined as the amount time it takes a radioactive isotope to disintegrate by a half. The formula for half-life is given by:

N(t) =N(0) 1/2 ^ t/t(1/2)

where N(t) = amount of substance remaining

N(0) = initial amount of substance

t = elapsed time

t(1/2) = half-life of the substance

Using this formula where N(t) = 0.25 g, N(0) = 1.00 g, and t(1/2) = 61 days,

N(t) =N(0) 1/2 ^ t/t(1/2)

0.25 g = 1.00 g x (1/2)^t/61

The statement oxygen is negative and hydrogen is positive is true.

Charge on an element is determined by the position of an element in the periodic table.More precisely,it is determined by an element's electronic configuration.

Elements having one electron in their outermost or valence shell are  situated to the left of the periodic table and are positive as they  loose their one electron present in valence shell to form cations that are positively charged ions.

Elements having six or seven electrons in their valence shell tend to gain one or two electrons respectively to complete their octet.These elements form anions that are negatively charged ions.

Hydrogen with atomic number 1 has 1 electron in it's valence shell which it looses to acquire a positive charge and hence form a cation .

Oxygen on the other hand,with atomic number 8 has 6 electrons in it's valence shell and thus gains 2 more electrons to complete the octet,and hence gain a negative charge and form an anion.
