For the nuclear reaction 11047Ag → 0-1e + 110 48Cd Starting with 200. g of Ag-110 in a container, how long will it take to decay to only 6.25 g? The half-life of Ag-110 is 252 days. For each half-life we divide by 2. So, in order to reach 6.25 g we have to divide 200. g by 2 times. The number of half-lives is Each half-life is 252 days so we multiply this by the number of half-lives. The time required is thus days. The total mass in the container is still about g.

The natural abundance of 14C in the earth's atmosphere and all living organisms is approximately constant at about one part per trillion. However, after an organism dies, the concentration of 14C decays with a half-life of 5730 years. If an ancient sample of bone is found to have a 14C radioactive decay rate that is only 39 percent of an equal size sample of contemporary bone, what is the estimated age of the ancient sample?
