The technique known as potassium-argon dating is used to date old lava flows. The potassium isotope, ^40K has a 1.28 billion year half-life and is naturally present at very low levels. ^40K decays by beta emission into ^40Ar. Argon is a gas, and there is no argon in flowing lava because the gas escapes. Once the lava solidifies, any argon produced in the decay of ^40K is trapped inside and cannot escape. A geologist brings you a piece of solidified...

ReviewI Constants The technique known as potassium-argon dating is used to date volcanic rock and ash, and thus establish dates for nearby fossils like this hominid skull.(Figure 1) The potassium isotope "0K has a 1.28-billion-year half-life and is naturally present at very low levels. Its most common decay mode is beta-minus decay into the stable isotope 40 Ca, but 10.9% of its decays are beta-plus which result in the creation of the stable isotope 40 Ar. The high temperatures in...

Several different radioisotopes can be used much like carbon-14 for determining the age of rocks and other matter. In the geosciences, the age of rocks may be determined using potassium-40, which decays to argon-40 with a half-life of 1.20 billion years. 1.) Some rocks brought back from the moon were dated as being 3.60 billion years old. What percentage of the potassium-40 has decayed after that time? Express your answer with the appropriate units. 2.) Give a reason why uranium-238...
