Answer:
3.125% will remain after 125 days
Explanation:
Given data:
Half life of Th-234 = 25 days
Percent of thorium remain after 125 days = ?
Solution:
Number of half lives = T elapsed / half life
Number of half lives = 125 days / 25 days
Number of half lives = 5
At time zero =100%
At 1st half life = 100%/2 = 50%
At second half life = 50%/2 = 25%
At third half life = 25%/ 2 = 12.5%
At 4th half life = 12.5% /2 = 6.25%
At 5th half life = 6.25% /2 = 3.125%
The mineral that you described is called Muscovite. The pages of the book description fits muscovite found in granite pegmatites where it is found in large crystals with a
pseudohexagonal outline that are called "books".
The half life for C14 is 5730 years.
We assume that Carbon 14/ Carbon 12 ratio was steady for living organisms over time, the problem is actually telling us that

= 0.0725 =

ˣ
Take the natural logarithm and In on both sides.
ln(0.725) = ln

ˣ
= - 0.3216 = xln (

= -0.6931x.
So x = (-.3216) / (-0.6931) = 0.464
or
t/t₁/₂ = 0.464
So t = 0.464 x t₁/₂ = 0.464 * 5730 yrs = 2660 years.
This segment is called a gene
This is an amide on the aromatic ring.
