`._(92)^(238)U` by successive radioactive decays changes to `._(82)^(206) Pb`. A sample of uranium ore was analysed and found to contain `1.0g^(238)U` and `0.1g^(206)Pb`. Assuming that `.^(206)Pb` has accumulated due to decay of uranium, find out the age of ore.
(`t_(1//2)` for `.^(238)U = 4.5xx10^(9)` year)

._(238)^(92)U by sucessive radioactive decays changes to ._(82)^(206) Pb . A sample of uranium ore was analysed and found to contain 1.0g^(238)U and 0.1g^(206)Pb . Assuming that .^(206)Pb has accumlated due to delay of uranium, find out the age of ore. ( t_(1//2) for .^(238)U = 10^(9) year)

In the uranium ore, the ratio of U^(238) nuclei to Pb^(206) nuclei is 2.8 . If it is assumed that all the lead Pb^(206) to be a final decay product of the uranuium series, the age of the ore is [T_(1//2) for U^(238) is 4.5xx10^(9) years]

A sample of U^(238) ("half life" = 4.5 xx 10^(9)yr) ore is found to contain 23.8 g" of " U^(238) and 20.6g of Pb^(206) . Calculate the age of the ore
