The half-life for the process 238U→206Pb is 4.5×109yr. A mineral sample contains 61.0 mg of 238U and 14.5 mg of 206Pb.
What is the age of the mineral?
To calculate the age of the mineral, begin by rearranging the first-order relationship between the half-life, t1/2, and the decay constant to solve for the decay constant, k.
k=0.693/t1/2
Then, use the following formula to solve for the age of the mineral, t:
t=−1klnNtN0
where N0 is the original amount of 238U (at time zero) and Nt is the amount remaining after the time interval.

Review | Constants Periodic Table In the parts that follow, use the following abbreviations for time If a substance is radioactive, this means that the nucleus is unstable and will therefore decay by any number of processes (alpha decay, beta decay, etc.). The decay of radioactive elements follows first-order kinetics. Therefore, the rate of decay can be described by the same integrated rate equations and half-life equations that are used to describe the rate of first-order chemical reactions: Measure of...

For a first-order reaction, the half-life is constant. It depends only on the rate constant k k and not on the reactant concentration. It is expressed as t1/2=0.693k t 1 / 2 = 0.693 k For a second-order reaction, the half-life depends on the rate constant and the concentration of the reactant and so is expressed as t1/2=1k[A]0. A certain first-order reaction (A→products A → p r o d u c t s ) has a rate constant of 9.30×10−3...
