3) How might the use of a newly developed insecticide technology impact society?
4) Rubidium-87 is an unstable atom that scientists use to date rocks that are more than
10-million years old. The half life of Rubidium-87 is approximately 49 billion years. How
much Rubidium-87 would remain in an object (what percentage) that is 147 billion years old?
5) Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. How old is a human leg bone in which 50% of the
