Feldspar has 98 atoms of 40Ar every 97 atoms of 40K. 10.9% of 40K decays to 40Ar. t(1/2)=1.25E9
0.693/1.25E9= 567E-10 = K
scientists can determine the age of somthing by finding out how much carbin 14 there is left in the sample. the reason fro using carbon 14 is because it has a very predictable half life of 5730(plus or minus 40) years. half life is the decay rate of certain materials. by knowing the begging amount of carbon 14 present in the sample they can determine by the amount left how old it is.this is a pretty easy subject to look up if you have any pther questions.
A conical cap is provided to a pscnometer to determine the volume of the test sample.
Feldspar, a major constituent of most igneous rocks, reacts with carbonic acid to produce residual clay minerals plus dissolved ions of metals (potassium, sodium or calcium, depending on the type of feldspar). Here, for example, is the reaction by which potassium feldspar is converted to kaolinite, a clay mineral: 4KAlSi3O8 + 4H2CO3 + 2H2O → Al4Si4O10(OH)8 + 4K+ + 4HCO3- + 8SiO2 feldspar + carbonic acid + water → kaolinite + dissolved potassium and bicarbonate ions + dissolved silica Similar reactions affect sodium feldspar and calcium feldspar.

Usually, yes, you can get a rough guesstimate of a persons age from their hair sample, you can usually tell male or female also.
The color and type of feldspar minerals largely determine the color of a particular granite.
A core sample would have to be taken to determine its age

65%. Any more, and it is not considered granite.

These minerals are quartz, feldspar, mica, and usually hornblende.
A sample size is needed whenever you conduct an experiment. How you determine an adequate sample size depends on the scope of what you're testing, such as medications.
Yes. In a similar way that scientists can use carbon dating to determine the age of fossils, a new method allows an individuals age to be determined from their blood. X-ray florescent spectroscopy allows the bloods plasma to be analyzed with enough precision to determine age within the year.
