Uranium 238 undergoes radioactive decay through a series of stages, producing lead 206 (image attached). Dating analysis reveals that in a certain rock there is 0.228 mol of lead-206 for every mole of uranium-238. If all of the lead-206 is assumed to originate from uranium-238, the time since the formation of this rock is approximately :

After a star uses up its hydrogen by fusing it all into helium, one of the next processes to become prevalent is fusion of helium nuclei to form carbon (shown below).

3. PuO2 has a density of 11.5 g cm- and a specific heat capacity of 330 J kg' K-1. A particular old sample (i.e. one that has 'partially decayed*) of PuO2 produces 0.440 kW kg' of heat due to internal radioactive decay. > The power output of a 2.00 cm' sample of this partially decayed' PuO2 is therefore 10.2 J/s. PuO, melts at 2673 K and its latent heat of fusion is 245 kJ kg:!. If we place our 2.00 cm block in a well insulated and heat resistant container when it is at 300 K, then how long is it before the whole block is melted?
