Answer:

Amount left after 140 days is 38.125 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of Co-59 = 35 days

Total mass of sample = 610.0 g

Sample remain after 140 days = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives passes during 140 days:

Number of half lives  = T elapsed / Half lives

Number of half lives  = 140 days / 35 days

Number of half lives  = 4

Amount left:

At time zero = 610 g

At first half life = 610 g/2 = 305 g

At second half life = 305 g/2 = 152.5 g

At 3rd half life = 152.5 g/2 = 76.25 g

At 4th half life = 76.25 g /2 =38.125 g

Amount left after 140 days is 38.125 g.

"the charcoal from a tree killed in the volcanic eruption that formed cedar lake in oregon contained 44.5% of the carbon-14 foun
nalin [4]
The half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years. (Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass). 
Let A₀ be the initial amount of carbon-14 that is found in living matter (t=0 years), to determine when there was 44.5% of A₀ left.
44.5 = 100 × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives
0.5^n = 0.445
    n = log 0.445/log 0.5
    n = 1.168
But 1 half life is 5700 years
Therefore, the number of years will be 5700 × 1.168 = 6658.299725 years
≈ 6658.30 years
