Chapter 19, Problem 44E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A constant 14C/12C ratio is given. The counts per min per gram of a petrified tree are given. Age of the tree is to be determined.

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

In the process of radiocarbon dating, the ratio of radio carbon to the stable carbon in the sample is studied.

To determine: The age of the given tree.

A 10.00-mL pipet was filled to the mark with distilled water at the lab temperature of 22 oC. The water, delivered to a tared weighing bottle was found to weigh 9.973 g. The density of water at 22 oC is 0.99780 g/mL. Calculate the volume of the pipet in mL. (disregard air displacement for this calculation and record your answer to the proper number of significant digits.)
