Rubidium-87, 87 b, decays by beta emission to strontium-87, 87Sr. The ratio of strontium-87 to rubidium-87 was 0.2194. Assuming no strontium was originally in the rock, what is the age of the rock? The half-life of rubidium-87 is 4.800+10 yr. Key Concept: The age of a substance can be determined from the integrated first order rate law: In Nt/No = -kt

The half-life os sodium -24 is 15 hours _________ ng sodium -24 remain check_circle Expert Answer thumb_up thumb_down Step 1 Radioactive decay is a first order reaction. Conversion of days into hours: 1 day2.5 days===24 hrs2.5×2460 hrs1 day=24 hrs2.5 days=2.5×24=60 hrs Calculation of k: k===0.693t1/20.69315 hrs0.0462 hrs−1k=0.693t1/2=0.69315 hrs=0.0462 hrs-1 Step 2 Radioactive decay is a first order reaction, therefore: [A]=[Ao] e−kt[A]=[Ao] e-kt where [A] is the final amount remained at time t, [Ao] is the initial amount.
