In an ore containing uranium the ratio of U238 to Pb206 is 3. Calculate the age of ore assuming that all lead present in ore is final stable product of U238 .Take the half-life of U238 to be 4.5x10^9yr this was answered by your group but how a/a-x became 4/3 when they said a/a-x is 3

Question

Arun · Answer

Please find the answer to your question Number of atoms of 238 U initially / Numbarof atoms of 238 U finally = 4 / 3 = a / (a - x) [∵ Initially one part lead is present with three parts Uranium] ∴ t = 2.303 / λ log α / (α – x )= 2.303 x 4. 5 x 10 9 / 0.693 log 4/3 = 1.868 x 10 9 years.
