Homework Statement
1) What would you expect the Carbon-14 activity (in counts/minute) to be for a 1.0g sample of Carbon from a 4000-year-old Bristle pine cone?
2) What would you expect the Carbon-14 in counts/minute to be for a 20g sample of carbon from a 10000 year old fireplace found in a cave in Europe?
Homework Equations
No idea.
The Attempt at a Solution
For both questions I'm assuming I have to find Carbon-14's counts/min rate and then multiply it by 1.0g and 4000yrs to get my answer? My teacher assigned these without any equations which explains why I have none posted above. Can someone please help me get started on this question?
