Potassium (Z = 19) has three primary isotopes: K-39, K-40, and K-41 1. Potassium-argon (K-Ar) dating is commonly used to determine the age of a sample by measuring the amount of Ar-40 present which was produced by the radioactive decay of K-40. Write the balanced nuclear reaction to show how K-40 becomes Ar-40.
In order to solve for the rate constant, k, in two steps you must: Step One Add the same expression to each side of the equation to leave the term that includes the variable by itself on the right- hand side of the expression: (Be sure that the answer field changes from light yellow to dark yellow before releasing your answer.) +[A] - kt + [A], Drag and drop your selection from the following list to complete the answer: 1 1 [A.] -[Ao] - [A.] [Ao] Submit
