Anthropologists can estimate the age of a bone or other organic matter by its carbon-14 content. The carbon-14 in a living organism is constant until the organism dies, after which carbon-14 decays with first-order kinetics and a half-life of 5730 years. Suppose a bone from an ancient human contains 19.5% of the C-14 found in living organisms
How old is the bone

✔ 最佳答案
t1/2 = ln 2 / k5730 = 0.693 / k
k = rate of reaction = 0.000121
ln 19.5/100 = - 0.000121 t
- 1.63 = - 0.000121 t
t = 13510 years
