Answer:
2578.99 years
Explanation:
Given that:
100 g of the wood is emitting 1120 β-particles per minute
Also,
1 g of the wood is emitting 11.20 β-particles per minute
Given, Decay rate = 15.3 % per minute per gram
So,
Concentration left can be calculated as:-
C left =
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Also, Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
Where, k is rate constant
So,
The rate constant, k = 0.000120968 year⁻¹
Time =?
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
So,
<u>t = 2578.99 years</u>

In 1770 a Scottish physician and Chemist Daniel Rutherford performed a simple experiment with which he discovered nitrogen. Rutherford being with an empty bottle that he turned upside down in a pan of water so that the air was trapped. A buring candle was placed inside the bottle with the trapped air causing the water to rise a bit. The part of the air that seemed to "disappear" when the candle was bured was oxygen gas and the part of the air that did not "disappear" Ruthford discovered Nitrogen.
