A sample of charred animal bones found in a cave has a carbon-14 decay rate of 5.2 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon (5.2 dis/min-g C). Living organisms have a decay rate of 15.3 dis/min-g C. The half-life of carbon-14 is 5715 yr. How old is the bone sample? (All radioactive elements decay according to first order kinetics.) a)2.8 x 10 3 yrs b)3.9 x 10 3 yrs c)1.9 x 10 3 yrs d)8.9 x 10 3 yrs
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...
