4.23 The half-life for radioactive decay of 14C is 5730 years. An archaeological artifact containing wood had only 80% of the 14C found in a living tree. Estimate the age of the sample.

4.23 Radio active decay occurs via first order rate law,
t1/2 = 5730 years. rate constant (k) of given decay is 0.693/t1/2
⇒0.693/5730 = 1.2 * 10-4 year-1
By first order integrated rate law age of the sample will be,
T = ( 2.303 / 1.2 X 10-4 ) log (A0/At)
where T is the age of the sample, A0 is the in

Reaction rate is used to measure how fast or slow reactions occur per unit time. The rate constant is a proportionality factor that remains constant for every reaction.
Yes, in elementary reactions, order and molecularity can be the same, but this is not always the case because order is an experimental quantity, and molecularity is a theoretical concept.
Reaction Kinetics, also known as chemical kinetics, is the study of the rate of chemical reaction and the factors affecting the reaction rate, such as temperature, concentration, and catalyst.
