14C is a radioactive isotope with a half life of 5.73x10^3 years. Radioactive decay is first order process and the amount of 14C present in an object can be used to determine its age. How long does it take for for 90 % of the 14C in a sample to decompose?

All radioactive decay processes follow first-order kinetics. The half-life of a gamma producing radioactive isotope is 2.4 hours. This isotope is used in a medical scan and enough of the isotope is given such that a heart scan can be done? If 0.75 ng of the isotope is administered, how ng of the isotope remains in the patient after 3.5 days?

Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus with a half-life of 5760 years. Living matter exchanges carbon with...
Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus with a half-life of 5760 years. Living matter exchanges carbon with its surrounding so that a constant level of 14C is maintained, corresponding to 15.3 decay events per minute. Once living matter has died, carbon contained in the matter is not exchanged with the surroundings, and the amount of 14C that remains in the dead material decreases with time due to radioactive decay. Consider a piece of fossilized wood that demonstrates 2.4 14C decay events...

If a radioactive isotope has half-life h, then the number of atoms in a sample is given by a(t)=a-2-/h where ao gives the number of atoms in the sample at time 0. The radio active decay of carbon-14 leads to clever way of determining the age of fossils and remnants of plants and animals. When an organism dies, the radioactive carbon- 14 in it decays, with half of it gone in 5,730 years. a. Suppose a mummified cat has a...
