@X@user.full_name@X@ @GMU: Uranium -238 decays in a series of steps to Pb-206. When the material is very old, one can treat the kinetics as a decay directly to Pb and the ratio of these two can be treated as a measure of the age of a rock. A rock containing 238U and 206Pb was examined to determine its approximate age. The molar ratio of 206Pb to 238U was 0.1567. Assuming no lead was originally present and that all lead formed remained in the rock, what is the age of the rock (in years)? The half-life of 238U is 4.50e9 yr.

@X@user.full_name@X@ @GMU: How much energy in kJ is released to form one mole of 116Cd from protons, electrons, and neutrons if the nucleus has a mass of 115.904755 amu? The masses of the proton, electron and neutron are 1.00728 amu, 0.000549 amu and 1.00867 amu, respectively.
