The isotope 232Th decays to 208Pb by the emission of six alpha particles, with a half-life of 1.39 × 1010 years. Analysis of 1.00 kg of ocean sediment shows it to contain 7.4 mg of 232Th and 4.9 × 10-3 cm3 of gaseous helium at0°C and atmospheric pressure. Estimate the age of the sediment, assuming no loss or gain of thorium or helium from the sediment since its formation and assuming that the helium arose entirely from the decay of thorium.

Suppose the difference in rest energy of the neutron and proton were Qn = (mn − mp)c2 = x MeV instead of Qn = 1.29MeV, with all other physical parameters unchanged. Estimate Ymax, the maximum possible mass fraction in 4He, assuming that all available neutrons are incorporated into 4He nuclei. Hint: Compare the new rest energy of the neutron to the electron and consider how that would impact the decay of neutrons. Will free neutrons decay at all in this scenario? If the neutron decay is negligible, then the ratio of protons to neutrons to protons will remain the same as it was at the time of freeze-out (for a given Qn). Value: x=0.158 MeV
