What fraction of an old sample of Ra obtained from 238U is 2
     What fraction of an old sample of Ra obtained from ^238U is ^210Po? How old is old? 
  
  Solution
210Pb (t1/2 = 22.6 ± 0.1 yrs)
The significant 210Pb deficits measured their eruption ages are less than 100 yrs.
210Po (t1/2 = 138.4 ± 0.1 days) and older than 2 years.
226Ra (t1/2 = 1599 ± 4 yrs ). and eruption ages of less than 8 ka.
