(ii) The answer to (i) will also be the heat gained by the water. Calculate the temperature of the water before the nail was placed in it.

(b) Iron reacts rather slowly with oxygen at room temperature (rusting). A student thought he could speed up the reaction and make the iron burn by heating a nail and dropping it in to a gas jar of oxygen but the nail did not burn. Suggest an improvement to the experiment to test if iron will burn and explain why your experiment is better. ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ (c) A bottle of radioactive material was purchased by a radiotherapy laboratory but was mislaid in a storeroom. When the storeroom was cleaned sometime later, the bottle was found. Analysis with a Geiger Counter showed the bottle contained 1.6 g of the radioactive isotope but the label on the bottle showed the mass was 50 g at the time of delivery. How long was the bottle mislaid for if the half-life of the radioisotope is 30 days?
