You take a course in archaeology that includes field work. An ancient wooden totem pole is excavated from your archaeological dig. The beta decay rate is measured at 610 decays/min. 1.209 X10-- years If a sample from the totem pole contains 235 g of carbon and the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in living trees is 1.35 x 10-12 what is the age of the pole in years? The molar mass of 'C is 18.035 g/mol. The half-life of C is 5730 y. incorrect m An old wooden bowl unearthed in an archeological dig is found to have one-third of the amount of carbon-14 present in a similar sample of fresh wood. The half-life of carbon-14 atom is 5730 years. Determine the ager of the bowl in years. 9088.58 years Incorrect
