Monazite sample contains 9% ThO""(2) and...

Monazite sample contains 9% `ThO""_(2)` and 0.35% `U""_(3)O""_(8).Pb""^(208)` and `Pb""^(206)` are the stable and products in the radioactive decay series of `Th""^(232)` and `U""^(238)` respectively. All the lead in mozaite is of radiogenic origin.
The isotopic ratio of `Pb""^(208)/Th""^(232)` was found to be 0.104. The half lives of Th and U are `1.41xx10""^(16)` years and `4.47xx10""^(9)` years respectively.
Select the information incorrect about `Th""^(232)`

A

`1.34xx10""^(9)years`

B

`2.01xx10""^(9)years`

C

`1.41xx10""^(9)years`

Monazite sample contains 9% ThO""_(2) and 0.35% U""_(3)O""_(8).Pb""^(208) and Pb""^(206) are the stable and products in the radioactive decay series of Th""^(232) and U""^(238) respectively. All the lead in mozaite is of radiogenic origin. The isotopic ratio of Pb""^(208)/Th""^(232) was found to be 0.104. The half lives of Th and U are 1.41xx10""^(16) years and 4.47xx10""^(9) years respectively. Estimated isotopic ratio of Pb""^(206)//U""^(238) in the monazite sample will be

In a smaple of rock, the ration .^(206)Pb to .^(238)U nulei is found to be 0.5. The age of the rock is (given half-life of U^(238) is 4.5 xx 10^(9) years).

A sample of Uranium is a mixture of two isotopes ._(92)^(234)U and ._(92)^(238)U present in the ratio 10% and 90% by weight. The half lives of these isotopes are 2.5 xx10^(5) years and 4.5 xx10^(5) years respectively. Calculate the contribution to activity in percentage of each isotope in this sample.

A sample of uranium is a mixture of three isotopes ._(92)U^(234), ._(92)U^(235) and ._(92)U^(238) present in the ratio 0.006%, 0.71% and 99.284% respectively. The half lives of then isotopes are 2.5xx10^(5) years, 7.1xx10^(8) years and 4.5xx10^(9) years respectively. The contribution to activity (in % ) of each isotope in the sample respectively

The isotope of U^(238) and U^(235) occur in nature in the ratio 140:1 . Assuming that at the time of earth's formation, they were present in equal ratio, make an estimate of the age of earth. The half lives of U^(238) and U^(235) are 4.5xx10^9 years and 7.13xx10^8 years respectively. Given log_(10)140=2.1461 and log_(10)^2=0.3010.
