Question

The ratio of 238U to 206Pb is used to date old mineral samples. Each 1.000 g of 238U that decays eventually produces 0.866 g of 206Pb. If the half-life of 238U is 4.468 109 years, what is the age of a mineral that has a 238U/206Pb mass ratio of 2.00?
A) 2.94 109 years
B) 3.60 109 years
C) 3.87 109 years
D) 4.47 109 years
