Carbon dating of small bits of charcoal used in cave paintings has determined that some of the paintings are from 10000 to 30000 yr old. Carbon- 14 has a half-life of 5730 yr. In a 1-sample of carbon from a live tree, the activity of carbon-14 is 6.4 Ci. If researchers determine that 1 of charcoal from a prehistoric cave painting in France has an activity of 0.80, what is the age of the painting?

a.
b.
c.
The activity of C-14 in a 70kg human body is estimated to be 3.7 kBq. What is this activity in microcuries?
Write a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of each of the following radioactive isotopes:
