Chapter 19, Problem 43E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Rate of decay of carbon 14 and its half life is given. The counts per minute per gram of carbon measured from a 15000 year old sample are to be determined. Effectiveness of radiocarbon dating for a small sample of 10mg or less is to be justified.

Concept introduction: Radiocarbon dating is based on the radioactivity of the nuclide 614C which decays by beta particle production.

A living plant consumes carbon dioxide in the photosynthesis process and incorporates the carbon including 614C into its molecule.

To determine: The counts per minute per gram of carbon measured from a 15000 year old sample.
