Chapter 25, Problem 27E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To explain the method by which radiocarbon dating of the object found in the pyramid in Egypt reveals a disintegration rate of 10.0 dis min-1 g-1. Whether the object is authentic or not needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The process of identifying the age of an object containing any organic matter is known as radiocarbon dating. This process uses the properties of a radioactive isotope of carbon.

Disintegration rate of any particle is the rate at which the particle breaks down into smaller particles in one second.
