The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. An artifact produces 9.9 disintegrations of 14C per minute per gram of carbon in the sample. Estimate the age of this sample assuming that its original radioactivity was 15.3 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon.

A wooden artifact has a 14C activity of 19.5 disintegrations per minute, compared to 27.5 disintegrations per minute for live wood. Given that the half-life of 14C is 5715 years, determine the age of the artifact. ___ x 10 ___ yr A 0.0108−g sample of a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 1.3 ×109 years decays at the rate of 2.7 ×104 disintegrations per minute. Calculate the molar mass of the isotope. ___ x 10 ___ g/mol

An archeological artifact was subjected to radiocarbon dating. The artifact showed a carbon-14 decay rate of 12.2disintegrations/min per gram of carbon. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5715 years, and currently living organisms decay at the rate of 15.3 disintegrations/min per gram of carbon. What is the approximate age of the artifact? Select one: A. 371 years old B. 6597 years old C. 851 years old D. 1867 years old

An artifact classified as bone, horse, found in a site at Offham, England, is found to have a 14C radioactivity of 0.192 counts per second per gram of carbon. If living carbon-containing objects have an activity of 0.255 counts per second per gram of carbon, estimate the age of the artifact? The half-life of 14C is 5730 years. у

7.3 The decay rate of the isotope carbon-14 (14C) is often used to establish the date on which carbon-containing matter died. In the upper atmosphere, cosmic radi- ation synthesizes 14C. This process balances the loss of 14C through radioactive decay. Living matter, which exchanges carbon with atmospheric carbon diox- ide and maintains its 14C level, produces 15.3 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon it contains. Dead organisms no longer exchange carbon with the atmosphere, and the 14C content decreases...
