Chapter 25.8, Problem 3.4ACP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fraction of the initial Rubidium-87 decayed has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Radiocarbon dating: The dynamic equilibrium exists in all living organism by exhaling or inhaling, maintain the same ratio of 12C and 14C that takes in. when the living organism dies, the intake of 14C stops and it’s the ratio no longer exhibits equilibrium; undergoes radioactive decay.

Half-life period: The time required to reduce to half of its initial value.

Formula used to calculate rate constant:

t1/2=0.693kwhere,kis rate constant.(or)ln[N]t- ln[N]0= -kt
