Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 103E
Anthropologists can estimate the age of a bone or other sample of organic matter by as carbon-14 content. The carbon-14 in a living organism dies, after which carbon-14 decays with first-order kinetics and a half-life of 5730 years. Suppose a bone from an ancient human contains 19.5% of the C-14 found in living organisms. How old is the bone?
