By measuring the amounts of parent isotope and daughter product in the minerals contained in a rock, and by knowing the half-life of the parent isotope, a geologist can calculate the absolute age of the rock. A rock contains 125 g of a radioisotope with a half-life of 150,000 years and 875 g of its daughter product. How old is the rock according to the radiometric dating method? Make sure to share the math of how you came up with your answer…
