The radioactive isotope, C does not occur naturally but it is found at con-
stant rate by the action of cosmic rays on the atmosphere. It is taken up by
plants and animals and deposited in the body structure along with natural
carbon, but this process stops at death. The charcoal from the fire pit of an
ancient camp has an activity due to 4C of 12.9 disintegrations per minute,
per gram of carbon. If the percentage of 14C compared with normal Carbon
in living trees is 1.35 × 10-¹⁰%, the decay constant is 3.92 × 10−¹⁰ s¯¹ and

Uranium-fueled reactors require an enhanced proportion of 235U. Since both isotopesof uranium have identical chemical properties, they can be separated only by methods that depend on their differing masses. Onesuch method is gaseous diffusion, in which uranium hexafluoride1UF62 gas diffuses through a series of porous barriers. The lighter 235UF6 molecules have a slightly higher rms speed at a given temperature than the heavier 238UF6 molecules, and this allows thetwo isotopes to be separated. Find the ratio of the rms speeds ofthe two isotopes at 23.0 °C.arrow_forward
