Carbon-11, used in medical imaging, has a half- life of 20.4 min. The carbon-11 nuclides are formed, and the carbon atoms are then incorporated into an appropriate compound. The result ing sample is injected into the patient, and the medical image is obtained. If the entire process takes five half-lives, what percentage of the original carbon-11 remains at this time?

A wooden object from an archeological site is subjected to radiocarbon dating. The activity due to C-14 is measured to be 11.6 disintegrations per second. The activity of a carbon sample of equal mass from fresh wood is 15.2 disintegrations per second. The half-life of C- 14 is 5715 year. What is the age of the archeological sample
