The half-life of 90Sr is 28 years. It is found in some steels and metals. In...
If C14 has a half-life of 4,000 years, what fraction will be remaining after 36,000 years? IfI 131 has a half-life of 8 days, what fraction will be left after a year?
A) The half-life for the decay of fluorine-18 is 109.8 min. What percent of the initial amount of fluorine-18 will remain after 439.2 min? The decay of fluorine-18 is a first order reaction. B) The decay of carbon-14 is used to date objects related to human civilization. The decay has a half-life of approximately 5730 years. The book that "nobody can read" or the Voyich manuscript was dated by faculty at the University of Arizona. It was found that 93.0%...
Problem 1. (10 pts) The half life of a substance is 5 years. There are 30 grams of the substance remaining after 9 years. (a) Write an equation of the form P(t) = Poekt for the amount of the substance in grams remaining after t years. (6) Give the continuous decay rate as a percentage and the percent rate of change as a percentage. Clearly label each.
Typing The Answer Is Mandatory The half-life of carbon is 5700 years. A substance was found that originally contained 40 grams of carbon-14. It now contains 10 grams of carbon-14. Predict how old the substance is. Explain how you arrived at this prediction.
PS2.7 The half-life for the (first-order) radioactive decay of 14C is 5730 years. An archaeological sample contained wood that had only 69 percent of the 14C found in living trees. What is its age?
correct answer c. Pa-232 d. U-238 The half life of C-14 is 5,730 years. A sample of King Tut's mummy wrapping is foun to contain 66.79 % of the C-14 found in an identical piece of cloth made today. In what year was King Tut wrapped in his mummy cloth? a. 1324 BC correct answer b. 3337 BC c. 7099 BC d. 300BC
An isotope of cesium (Cesium-137) has a half-life of 30 years. If 1.0 mg of cesium-137 disintegrates over a period of 90 years, how many mg of cesium-137 would remain? 14. Thallium-208 has a half-life of 3.053 min. How long will it take for 120.0g to decay to 7.500 15. Element-106 has a half-life of 0.90 seconds. If one million atoms of it were prepared, how many atoms would remain after 4.5 seconds? 16. A 2.5 gram sample of an...
1) The half-life of carbon 14 is 5600 years. Compute the rate of decay (constant ?) for this radioactive isotope (5 marks) 2) Traces of burnt wood along with ancient stone tools in an archaeological dig in Spain were found to contain approximately 10% of the original amount of carbon 14. Using the value of the constant ? from part 1), calculate when the tree was felled and burned.
1. The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. A sample is found to have one-eighth the original amount of carbon-14 in it. How old is the sample? 5730 years, 716 years, 45800 years, 17200 years 2. Why wouldn't you use carbon-14 dating on a piece of shell that was estimated to be 1 million years old? Sea shells do not have radioisotopes, carbon dating is only useful on plants, uranium dating is better for items older than 1/2 million years,...
(4 points) The half-life of radioactive strontium-90 is approximately 32 years. In 1964, radioactive strontium-90 was released into the atmosphere during testing of nuclear weapons, and was absorbed into people's bones. How many years does it take until only 9 percent of the original amount absorbed remains? time = 1 years
