Xavier is at NASA analyzing Moon rocks. In one of the rocks from the lunar maria, he discovered 79 % of the original uranium-238 remains, while remaining amount of uranium-238 had decayed into lead. The half life of uranium-238 is 4.5 × 109 years. Assume the only decay product is lead. How old is the lunar maria rock in billions of years (109 years)?
An archaeologist finds some ancient jewelry made from bone. The jewelry has a carbon mass of 484 g (HINT: Assume all the carbon is 12C and determine the number of atoms, 12C has a molar mass of 12 g/mol) and careful measurements show that the remaining 14c has a current decay rate of 11 decays/s. Determine the age of the bone (and presumably the jewelry). The ratio of 14C to 12c when the animal died was 1.25x10-12 & the half-life of 14c is 5730 y. Additionally, 1 mol = 6.022x1023 365.25 days, & 1 day = 24 h. particles, 1 y = age of bone =

A rock contains the radioactive isotope K − 40 that decays with a half-life of 1.3 billion years and the radioactive isotope Rb− 87 that decays with a half-life of 48.6 billion years. The rock is100 million years old. The rock currently has 1000 times as many Rb− 87 atoms as there are K − 40 atoms. (That is, N Rb= 1000 × N K) When the rock first formed it had M times as many Rb − 87 atoms as L − 40 atoms. (That is, N Rb, 0 = M × N K,0.) What is the value of M?
