Explain how many 14c disintegrations have occurred

Reference no: EM13520128

A wood sample is obtained from a tree that originally grew in 1804 A.D. If the initial rate of decay in 1804 A.D. can be assumed to be 13.56 decays per minute, how many 14C disintegrations have occurred in the sample since that time? The half-life of 14C is 5,730 years.
