Question
Chapter 19, Problem 46QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Interpret the reason for less C-6 present in ancient wood than recently fabricated articles.
Concept Introduction:
Carbon dating is the method of identifying the age of object which contains organic matter. This property uses the properties of radiocarbon. This technique work by measuring the content of carbon-14 present in matter and thus the age can be determined.

Iridium‑192 is one radioisotope used in brachytherapy, in which a radioactive source is placed inside a patient's body to treat cancer. Brachytherapy allows the use of a higher than normal dose to be placed near the tumor while lowering the risk of damage to healthy tissue. Iridium‑192 is often used in the head or breast.
Use the radioactive decay curve of iridium‑192 to answer the three questions.
The percentage of the sample remaining is plotted on the y axis versus the time in days on the x axis. Some of the points included on the decay curve are 0 days 100 percent remaining, 5 days 95.41 percent remaining, 25 days 79.08 percent remaining, 35 days 71.99 percent remaining, 40 days 68.69 percent remaining, 45 days 65.54 percent remaining, 55 days 59.67 percent remaining, 65 days 54.32 precent remaining, 70 days 51.83 percent remaining, 75 days 49.45 percent remaining, 80 days 47.19 percent remaining, 85 days 45.02 percent remaining, 105 days 37.31 percent remaining, 115 days 33.97…
