If a radioactive isotope has half-life h, then the number of atoms in a sample is given by a(t)=a-2-/h where ao gives the number of atoms in the sample at time 0. The radio active decay of carbon-14 leads to clever way of determining the age of fossils and remnants of plants and animals. When an organism dies, the radioactive carbon- 14 in it decays, with half of it gone in 5,730 years. a. Suppose a mummified cat has a...

An archaeologist finds some ancient jewelry made from bone. The jewelry has a carbon mass of 303 g (HINT: Assume all the carbon is 12C and determine the number of atoms) and careful measurements show that the remaining 14C has a current decay rate of 14 decays/s. Determine the age of the bone (and presumably the jewelry). Remember, the ratio of 14C to 12C when the animal died was 1.3×10-12 & the half-life of 14C is 5730 y. age of...

(4) (1 pt) A sample of bone is subjected to radiocarbon dating. The current decay rate observed for its carbon-14 content is 11.2 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. What is the age (in years) of the bone? The half- life for carbon-14 is 5.73x10 yrs., and the decay rate for carbon-14 in living organisms is 15.3 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon.

Carbon 14 has a half-life of 5.73*10^3 years. C-14 in a piece of living bone has an activity of 14 decays per minute per gram of bone. If a bone found under a parking lot in San Diego has an activity of 3.5 decays per minute per gram of bone, then approximately how long has it been since the bone was alive?

Mass of carbon in animal bone fragment found in an archeological site is 198g. If the bone registers an activity of 16 decays/s from radioactive 14C. What is its age?. Assume that the animal when it died that the ratio of 14C to 12C was 1.3x10-12. The half-life of 14C is 5730years.

Question 4: Carbon dating (3 points) Archaeologists use the exponential, radioactive decay of carbon-14 to estimate the death dates of organic material. The stable form of carbon is carbon-12, and the radioactive isotope carbon-14 decays over time into nitrogen-14 and other particles. Carbon is naturally in all living organisms, and the carbon-14 that forms in the upper atmosphere enters into living things as long as they are taking in material (food, air, etc.) that contains carbon. We...

An ancient club is found that contains 140 g of pure carbon and has an activity of 5.5 decays per second. Determine its age assuming that in living trees the ratio of (14c 12c) atoms is about . Note that the half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years and the Avogadro number is 6.02x10^23. in years

An ancient club is found that contains 190 g of pure carbon and has an activity of 6.5 decays per second. Determine its age assuming that in living trees the ratio of (14C / 12C) atoms is about 1.20×10-12. Note that the half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years and the Avogadro number is 6.02×1023. Answer in years.
