Question 1

The radioisotope potassium-40 decays to argon-40 by positron emission with a half-life of 1.3 × 109 yr.  A sample of moon rock was found to contain 78 argon-40 atoms for every 22 potassium-40 atoms.  The age of the rock is
◦ 8.1 × 10–10 yr
◦ 2.4 × 109 yr
◦ 2.8 × 109 yr
◦ 4.6 × 109 yr
◦ 6.8 × 109 yr

Question 2

The Rb-87/Sr-87 method of dating rocks is often used by geologists:
           t1/2 = 6.0 × 1010 yr
Estimate the age of a rock sample in which the present-day mole ratio of Rb-87 to Sr-87 is 36:1.
◦ 2.4 × 109 yr
◦ 1.7 × 109 yr
◦ 3.1 × 1011 yr
◦ 4.1 × 10–11 yr
◦ 3.6 × 1011 yr

Did you know?

Disorders that may affect pharmacodynamics include genetic mutations, malnutrition, thyrotoxicosis, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson's disease, and certain forms of insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus.

Did you know?

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.

Did you know?

The most common childhood diseases include croup, chickenpox, ear infections, flu, pneumonia, ringworm, respiratory syncytial virus, scabies, head lice, and asthma.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

Drugs are in development that may cure asthma and hay fever once and for all. They target leukotrienes, which are known to cause tightening of the air passages in the lungs and increase mucus productions in nasal passages.
