The 87Rb rubidium isotope is used to determine the age of rocks and fossils. 87Rb is β-active with a half-life of 4.9 to 1010 years and is degraded to strontium isotope 87Sr. The fossil under study contains strontium in the ratio k = NSr / NRb = 0.0055. Calculate the age of the fossil by assuming that strontium was not present when the fossil was petrified. Give the answer in years (ie a).
10 The half life for the radioactive decay of rubidium-87 to strontium-87 is 4.88 x 10 years. Suppose nuclear chemical analysis shows that there is 0.271 mmol of strontium-87 for every 1.000 mmol of rubidium-87 in a certain sample of rock. Calculate the age of the rock. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Ar years x10
11. My Notes Ask Your Teacher -/10 points Content Carbon dating An archaeologist finds some ancient jewelry made from bone. The jewelry has a carbon mass of 435 g (HINT: Assume all the carbon is 12C and determine the number of atoms) and careful measurements show that the remaining 14C has a current decay rate of 11 decays/s. Determine the age of the bone (and presumably the jewelry). Remember, the ratio of 14C to 12C when the animal died was...
Rubidium-Strontium dating decay and becomes A geologist finds an old rock and wants to determine its age using rubidium-strontium dating. This is possible because , which has a half life of 4.75X10" , undergous r. The geologia determines that the ratio of Sr to "bis 0.851. Assuming there was no se in the rock when it was formed, determine the age of the rock age of rock

4) An igneous Martian meteorite contains four different minerals with the following isotopic compositions: Mineral Covidite Trumpite Insleeite Faucite 87Rb/86Sr 10 7.00 5.00 2.00 87St/86Sr 1.12 0.101 0.89 0.79 86Sr and 878r are stable isotopes but 87Rb is radioactive and decays to 875r with a decay constant (time to decay by e-?) of 7 x 1010 years. When the minerals formed by crystallization from a liquid they had identical 875r/86Sr ratios. Plot the data on a graph of 87Sr/86Sr (y...
