How many 14C nuclei decay per second ina 70kgperson, assuming that the person's body contains 12% of carbonandthat there is one 14C nucleus forevery101214C nuclei? How much time must pass after this person dies beforethe14C activity decreases to one decay per second? (Note we need to get a value of the half-life of14Cfrom an outside source)
