A sample of rock is known to be #4.2xx10^(9)# years old. It contains 1.235 g of U 238. What is the mass of Pb 206 present in the sample assuming all of it originated from the decay of U 238 which has a half life of #4.489xx10^9# years ?
10. A rock contains 270 micromoles of U-238 and 110 Micromoles of Pb-206. Assuming that all the Pb-206 comes from decay of the U-238, estimate the rock's age.
The half-life for the radioactive decay of iron-55 is 2.7 years. From a 2.00 g sample of iron – 55, how many grams will be left after 13.5 years?
A 1.6 mg sample of radioactive Ho-166 has a half-life of 26.8 years. What mass remains after 12 years? All radioactive decay processes are 1st order reactions. t1/2 = 0.693/k ln [A]t = -kt + ln [A
Natural potassium contains 40K, which has a half-life of 1.277×109 y. What mass of 40K in a person would have a decay rate of 4140 Bq? What is the fraction of 40K in natural potassium, given that the person has 140 g in his body? (These numbers are typical for a 70-kg adult.)
