The previous part could be done without using the decay equation, because the ratio of original 14C14C to present 14C14C was an integer power of 1/2. Most problems are not so simple. To solve more general carbon-dating problems, you must first find the value of the decay constant for 14C14C, so that you can easily use the decay equation. Using the given half-life, 5730 yearsyears, find the value of the decay constant for 14C14C. Express your answer in inverse years to three significant figures. View Available Hint(s)

The decay constant for C14 is

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant  

a - x = amount left after decay process  

for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

The decay constant for C14 is
