Journal
1. What is the half-life of the sample shown in the graph?
2. If you started with 150 grams of the substance shown in the graph, how much would be left after 8 days?
3. A fossilized tree killed by a volcano was studied. It had 6.25% of the amount of carbon-14 found in a sample of the same size tree that is alive today. When did the volcanic eruption take place?
Remember: The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5700 years.
