The half life for the radioactive decay of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is 5.73 x 10° years. Suppose nuclear chemical analysis shows that there is 0.276 mmol of nitrogen-14 for every 1.000 mmol of carbon-14 in a certain sample of rock. Calculate the age of the rock. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
