A piece of charcoal used for cooking is found at the remains of an ancient campsite. A 1.19 kg sample of carbon from the wood has an activity of 2340 decays per minute. Find the age of the charcoal. Living mate- rial has an activity of 15 decays/minute per gram of carbon present and the half-life of 14C is 5730 y. Answer in units of y. I got 7300.99 but that wasn’t right Can you please help!
20.0 hours after being ingested 74.5 % of the original radioactive atoms have decayed or been eliminated. If the biological half-life is known to be 35.0 hours, what is the physical half-life of this isotope? State the time in hours to 1 decimal places but do NOT include units in your answer. Your Answer:
A radioactive sample has a decay constant of 49.15x10-12 s¹. Estimate the half-life.
A sample of radioactive material has a half-life of 12 hours. If the initial sample contained 6.2x10¹3 radioactive nuclides estimate the number of radioactive nuclides present in the sample after 5 hours.
