Question

An old European tradition is to purchase and store a keg of port when a baby is born. The port wine is then presented to the child on their 21st birthday. If the tritium activity in rainwater is 5.5 counts per minute, what will the tritium activity in the port be on the child’s 21st birthday? Assume the port wine was eight years old when purchased and the wine’s activity was the same as rainwater the year it was made . The half - life of tritium is 12.3 yrs.
