Just askin.... i did not listen in the lesson so idk how to do it, thought i would put it out there for help


A wooden spoon from an archaeolgical dig was found to have 1 part C-14 to 80 000 000 parts carbon. Work out when the wood was a LIVING MATERIAL (half life of c-14 is 5730 years)

No one knows? Okay.jpg

>> No.2766628

What would be the carbon ratio for living material?

>> No.2766638

Its telling us to work out when the wood was alive (because it had carbon-14 in it) i think so its 1/80,000,000

>> No.2766692

carbon dating makes me lol

tell your prof the wood is between 1 day old and 6,000 years old

ITT: it is proven once more that /sci/ is filled with 16-year-olds begging for homework help.

Go away.
