half life carbon -14 is 5,730 years. If you start out 50 grams, how long will it take until it reaches 2 grams?

30,000 years (26,609.29579 years to be exact)

The formula is T= ((log(Ae/Ao) / log(0.5)) · t
where t is the half life, T is the total time, Ae is the ending amount, and Ao is the original.

((log(2/50) / log (0.5)) · 5730 = 26609.29597 -> 30,000 years due to sig figs.
