A volcanic eruption melts a large chunk of rock, and all gases are expelled. After cooling, argon- 40 accumulates from the ongoing decay of potassium-40 (half-life of potassium-40 is 1.25 x 10° yr) in the rock. When a piece of rock is analyzed, it is found to contain 1.38 mmol of potassium- 40 and 1.14 mmol of argon-40. How long ago did the rock cool?
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
