What would the percentage of thorium-232 (parent compound) be in a rock that was dated 1.4 billion years?

93.33%

Explanation:

Thorium is a radioactive element with a molecular weight of 232g/mol. Thorium is very stable and can have 14.05 billion years of half-life period. Every half-life passed, the parent compound mass will be decayed by half. If the age of the rock is 1.4 billion years, then the amount of the parent compound will be:r = ½^(time elapsed/half-life)

r = ½^(1.4bil years/14.05 bil years)

r = ½^(0.0996)= 0.9333

r= 93.33%

The rock will have 93.33% of the parent compound and 6.67% of the decayed compound.

b is the correct answer

mark me brainliest and hope this

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
