    Radiocarbon dating of a sample of wood from the tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh found that in the 1 gram of the sample there were 9.843 times 10^-15 mol of C-14 and 1.202 times 10^-2 mol of C-12. The C-14 isotope is radioactive and decays with a half-life of 5, 730 years: the C-12 isotope is stable (does not decay). If the initial ratio of these isotopes is known to have been Number of C-14/Number of C-12 = 1.20 times...
