What mass of `C^(14)` with `t_(1//2) = 5730` years has activity equal to curie?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the mass of Carbon-14 (C-14) that has an activity equal to 1 Curie, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between activity and half-life 1. **Activity (A)** is defined as the number of disintegrations per second. 1 Curie (Ci) is equal to \(3.7 \times 10^{10}\) disintegrations per second. ### Step 2: Convert half-life from years to seconds 2. The half-life of C-14 is given as 5730 years. We need to convert this into seconds: \[ ...

A bottle of red wine is thought to have been sealed about 5 years ago. The wine containa a number of different kinds of atoms, incluing carbon, oxygen,and hydrogen. Each of these has a radioactive isotope. The radiaoctive isotope of carbon is the familiar ._6^(14)C with a half-life of 5730 years . The radioactive isotope of oxygen is. ._(8)^(15)O and has a half-life of 122.2 s . The radioactive isotope of hydrogen ._1^(3)H and is called tritium, its half-life is 12.33 years . The activity of each of these isotopes is known at the time the bottle was sealed. However, only one of the isotopes is useful for determining the age of the wine accurately. Which is it?
