Suppose that instead of using half-life to characterize the radioactivity of elements, we used the idea of third-life (that is, the time it takes for one-third of a sample to decay). If the half-life of Uranium 235 is 700 million years, what would its third-life be?
Why is uranium-235 used in nuclear fission? why is uranium-235 one of the only elements ideal for nuclear fission to create energy? Is there a link between its stability and its size?

Potassium-Argon dating is a common method of determining the age of rocks based on the time they were last liquified, and thus we can determine the age of a surface by examining the ratio of the parent K40 to the decay product Ar40. This works because argon is a gas, which is free to bubble out of liquified rock whenever the rock is hot enough to no longer be in it's solid state (think of magma covering a surface). This means that just after the rock solidifies, there should be effectively no Ar40 remaining and that any Ar40 that we do find in the rock at the time of the collection of the sample must be due to radioactive decay. With all of this in mind, if we find that a rock sample has 31 Ar40 atoms for every 1 K40 atom, and the half-life of K40 is 1.3 billion years, how much time has passed in years since that rock was geologically active (aka it was last liquified)?
A particular radioactive material was weighed exactly 1 year ago, showing a mass of 200 g. If the mass was measured today, showing only 1.5 g remaining, calculate the half-life of the radioactive material.Please give your answer in units of days, rounded to the nearest day.
Uranium-lead (U-Pb) dating of geological samples is one of the oldest and most refined radiometric dating methods, able to determine ages of about 1 million years to over 4.5 billion years with precision in the 0.1–1% range. The U-Pb dating method relies on two separate decay chains, one of which is the actinium series from 235U to 207Pb, with a half-life of 704 million years. Geologists unearth a sample of zircon that appears to be a closed system. They find 0.714 grams of 207Pb for 1.000 grams of 235U present. Approximately how old is the sample? _______ yrs
Material found with the body had a C-14 activity of about 0.215 Bq per gram of carbon, where the A0 = 0.23 Bq per gram. If the half-life of C-14 is 5730yrs, determine the age of the Iceman’s remains.
