The half-life of iodine-126 (I 126 ) is 13 days. Of an original sample of 1,000.0 grams, how may grams of I 126 will remain after 98 days? Give the answer to the nearest tenth of a gram. | 5.4 g |
While alive, an organism absorbs (radioactive) carbon 14 at such a rate that the proportion of carbon 14 in the organism remains at a known constant level. When it dies, it no longer absorbs carbon 14, so its proportion of carbon 14 begins to decrease. The half-life of carbon 14 is 5,600 years. A human skeleton is discovered whose level of carbon 14 is 15% that of a living human. To the nearest 100 years, how long ago did the person die? | 15,300 years |
