Question 1

An archaeologist finds the 14C in a sample of of material to be decaying at 107 Bq. A modern sample of the same material decays at 151 Bq,and assume this rate has also held in the past. The half-life of 14C is 5730 years. How old is the sample?
◦ 8980 years
◦ 6230 years
◦ 8530 years
◦ 17,000 years

Question 2

The equation shows a fission reaction:

U + n → Nb + X + 4 n

What is the missing term X in the equation?
