Present-day plant life has a carbon-14 decay rate of 16


Present-day plant life has a carbon-14 decay rate of 16 disintegrations per minute (dpm) per gram of carbon. If a contemporary wooden chair were somehow preserved for the next 3,900 years, what 14C decay rate should be expected from the wood used to make the chair? (t1/2 = 5,730 yr)
