half life U-235 is 7.04x10^8 years half life U-238 is 4.468 x10^9 years 3. One may assume that when U-238 was formed at the genesis of Earth, an equal amount of 235U was formed. Today the amount of 238U is 138 times the amount of 235U. How long a time ago did the genesis occur according to this assumption?

17. Nowaday, the ratio between the number of 2 isotopes 235U and 238U are: 0.72%. Half life of 235 U and 238U are 7.04x108 years; 44.7x108 years, respectively. That ratio 2 million years ago is: a) 2.33% b) 0.27% c) 0.72% d) 0.78%
1) When Uranium-235 (atomic number 92/mass number 235) is struck by a slow neutron it is split into two smaller elements and 3 neutrons (atomic number 0/mass number 1). If one of the elements it splits into is Strontium (Sr) (atomic number 38/mass number 90), what is the other element it splits into? Must include atomic number and mass number. 2) Uranium-238 eventually decays into Lead-206. The half-life of Uranium-238 is 4.5 x 109 or 4.5 billion years. A rock...

Radioactive decay occurs when a radioactive isotope ("parent" isotope) gradually transforms into a radiogenic isotope ("daughter" isotope) over time. This process is modeled by the following function: where r is the ratio of parent to daughter atoms, t is time and τΗ is called the halflife. The following table shows several parent-daughter pairs along with their half-lives. Daughter N14 Srs7 Ar4o Pb206 Pb207 Half-Life (years) 5730 48.8 x 109 1.3 x 109 4.6 x 109 0.7 x 10 arent Rbs7...
