1) The 40K isotope is not produced by the decay of other elements, so its quantity on the Earth has
halved every 1.25 billion years since the Earth was formed. The 40K decays by electron capture or by
β+ decay (11%) and by β– decay (89%). One of the decay products is gaseous and does not escape
after a rock solidifies. Analysing this rock sample, it was found that the amount of gas produced was
90% of the 40K that was still present. How long ago (billion years) did the rock solidify ? [ℓn(9.18) =
