Answer:
The age of the rock = 2800.6 million years = 2.8 billion years.
A simple method of analysis similar to Carbon dating is used to obtain the required age of the rock. Radioactive substances decay according to first order reaction kinetics. So, plugging all the required parameters into the general equation for amount of substance left in a first order decay gives us the age of the rock.
Explanation:
Half life of Uranium-235 = 700 million years (from literature)
The decay of radioactive substances follow first order reaction kinetics.
The general equation is given as
A(t) = A₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ
A(t) = Amount of radioactive substance left after a particular time = 6.25%
A₀ = initial amount of radioactive substance = 100%
t = time that has passed since the beginning = age of the rock = ?
k = decay constant
The decay constant is related to the half life (T) through the relation,
k = (In 2)/T
k = (0.693/700) = 0.00099 /million years
A(t) = A₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ
6.25 = 100 e⁻ᵏᵗ
0.0625 = e⁻ᵏᵗ
In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.0625 = -2.7726
-kt = - 2.7726
t = (2.7726/0.00099) = 2800.6 million years
t = 2.8 billion years.
Hope this Helps!!!

The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, Colombia with 10%.
The innermost layer or the lower most layer of the Sun's atmosphere is called the photosphere. It is the visible surface of the sun that we are most familiar with. The sun is a ball of gas; however, the solid shape we see is actually just a layer which is about 100 km thick. The correct answer to this question is letter "C. Photosphere".
