Title: Using Uranium/Lead Dating to Estimate the Age of a Rock
Post by: ashkatnew on Jun 3, 2019
A meteor contains 0.556 g of Pb-206 to every 1.00 g of U-238. Assuming that the meteor did not contain any Pb-206 at the time of its formation, determine the age of the meteor. Uranium-238 decays to lead-206 with a half-life of 4.5 billion years.

A rock contains Pb-206 to U-238 mass ratio of 0.145:1.00. Assuming that the rock did not contain any Pb-206 at the time of its formation, determine the age of the rock.
