Answer:

8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1

9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.

Explanation:

8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...

1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)

ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ

-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1

___

9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...

6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344

half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.
