The curie (Ci) is a commonly used unit for measuring nuclear radioactivity: 1 curie of radiation is equal to 3.7 x 1010 decay events per second (the number of decay events from 1 g of radium in 1 second). a. What is the activity in Ci of 120 g K,"PO, (fu2 for s2p = 14.3 days)? Assume the atomic mass of "P is 32.0 u. b. What is the activity in mCi (millicuries) of 1.0 mol of plutonium-239 (ty2 = 24,000 years)? %3!

A rock contains 0.617 mg of 206Pb for every 1.000 mg of 238U present. Assuming that no lead was originally present, that all the 206Pb formed over the years has remained in the rock, and that the number of nuclides in intermediate stages of decay between 238U and 206 Pb is negligible, calculate the age of the rock. (For 238U, t1/2 = 4.5 X 109 years.)
