Age of Plant or Animal Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Age of Plant or Animal = (2.303/Disintegration Constant of 14C)*(log10(Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants/Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil))
t = (2.303/k)*(log10(N_o/N_t))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

log10 - The common logarithm, also known as the base-10 logarithm or the decimal logarithm, is a mathematical function that is the inverse of the exponential function., log10(Number)

Variables Used

Age of Plant or Animal - (Measured in Second) - Age of plant or animal is defined as the length of time that a plant/animal has lived or a thing has existed.
Disintegration Constant of 14C - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - Disintegration Constant of 14C is defined as the fractional change in number of atoms that occurs in unit time.
Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants - (Measured in Becquerel) - Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants is defined as the amount of radioactive carbon present in the animals or plants originally.
Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil - (Measured in Becquerel) - Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil is defined as the amount of its residual radiocarbon is present in wood or animal.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Disintegration Constant of 14C: 0.024 1 Per Year --> 7.60529724163474E-10 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)
Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants: 22100000000 Disintegrations per Second --> 22100000000 Becquerel (Check conversion here)
Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil: 8015400000 Disintegrations per Second --> 8015400000 Becquerel (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = (2.303/k)*(log10(N_o/N_t)) --> (2.303/7.60529724163474E-10)*(log10(22100000000/8015400000))

Evaluating ... ...

t = 1333801478.00594

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1333801478.00594 Second -->42.2664862565288 Year (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

42.2664862565288 ≈ 42.26649 Year <-- Age of Plant or Animal

What is Radiocarbon Dating ?

Radiocarbon dating is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive isotope of carbon. It is also referred to as carbon dating or carbon-14 dating.

How to Calculate Age of Plant or Animal?

Age of Plant or Animal calculator uses Age of Plant or Animal = (2.303/Disintegration Constant of 14C)*(log10(Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants/Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil)) to calculate the Age of Plant or Animal, Age of Plant or Animal is determined by the Radioactive carbon dating technique in which the half-life of carbon and found radioactive elements is determined to calculate the age of a fossil. Age of Plant or Animal is denoted by t symbol.

FAQ

What is Age of Plant or Animal?

Age of Plant or Animal is determined by the Radioactive carbon dating technique in which the half-life of carbon and found radioactive elements is determined to calculate the age of a fossil and is represented as t = (2.303/k)*(log10(N_o/N_t)) or Age of Plant or Animal = (2.303/Disintegration Constant of 14C)*(log10(Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants/Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil)). Disintegration Constant of 14C is defined as the fractional change in number of atoms that occurs in unit time, Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants is defined as the amount of radioactive carbon present in the animals or plants originally & Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil is defined as the amount of its residual radiocarbon is present in wood or animal.

How to calculate Age of Plant or Animal?
