Answer:

The answer to your question is Abundance N-14 = 99.63%

                                                    Abundance N-15 = 0.37%

Explanation:

Data

Average atomic mass = 14.0067 amu

N-14 = 14.003074002

N-15 = 15.00010897

Abundance N-14 = ?   x

Abundance N-15 = ?   1 - x

Formula

Average atomic mass = (mass of N-14)x + (mass of N-15)(1 - x)

Substitution

14.0067 = 14.003074002x + 15.00010897(1 - x)

Solve for x

14.0067 = 14.003074002x + 15.00010897 - 15.00010897x

14.0067 - 15.00010897 = 14.003074002x - 15.00010897x

-0.9934 = -0.99703x

x = -0.9934 / -0.99703

x = 0.9963

Conclusion

Abundance N-14 = 0.9963 x 100 = 99.63 %

Abundance N-15 = 1 - 0.9963 = 0.0037 x 100 = 0.37 %

Uranium-235 has a half-life of 713 million years. Would uranium-235 or carbon-14 be more useful for dating a fossil from Precamb
9966 [12]
Answer: Uranium-235.

Radioactive isotopes are used to determine the age of antique objects, including fossils.

The half-life time of the radioactive elements is what permits the process of dating.

The half-life of C-14 is too short to be useful to date too old objects.

Precambrian time is the most antique era. C-14 hal-life is about 5730 years and Precambrian time is millions or billions of years ago. Given that the hal-life of U-235 is 704 million years it is appropiate to date the fossils from the Precambrian era.
