Torgeir is on a geology field trip and finds a meteorite that contains 7 times more argon-40 than potassium-40. The half-life of potassium-40 is 1.25 × 10^9 years. Assume the only decay product is argon-40. How old is the rock in billions of years (10^9 years)?

The half-life of Potassium-40 (K-40) decaying to Argon-40 (Ar-40) is 1.3 billion years. Suppose an igneous rock contains 105 million atoms of Ar-40 and 15 million atoms of K-40. (Assume here that no Ar-40 was present in the mineral when it formed and that no Ar-40 has escaped since formation). Using the number of half-lives from the previous question, how old is this rock? 2.6 billion years old 5.2 billion years old 3.9 billion years old 1.3 billion years old

Meihui is at NASA analyzing Moon rocks. In one of the rocks from the lunar highlands, he discovered 37 % of the original uranium-238 remains, while remaining amount of uranium-238 had decayed into lead. The half life of uranium-238 is 4.5 × 109 years. Assume the only decay product is lead. How old is the lunar maria rock in billions of years (109 years)?

Question 3.210Po is a very toxic isotope (about 106 times more toxic than cyanide). The main hazard is its intense alpha radiation which, if ingested, does serious damage to internal tissues. Imagine that you are an undercover spy and you want to poison some critics of your government by slipping some 210 Po into their margaritas. The maximum safe body burden of 21°Po is ~1000 Bq = 16.7 dpm. To make sure your deadly poison works you want to increase...
