Answer:

carbon-12 is not radioactive

Explanation:

The measurement of the age of dead carbon based life forms requires the use of a radioactive isotope hence it is often referred to as radiocarbon dating.

Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 occur together in living things.The half life of Carbon-14 is about 5670 years.

Hence, since Carbon-12 is not radioactive, it can not be used to measure the age of dead carbon based materials.

The solubility of copper(i) chloride is 3.91 mg per 100.0 ml of solution. calculate ksp for cucl (cucl=99.00 g mol-1).
garri49 [273]
Convert  Mg  to  grams
1g =1000mg  what  about  3.91  Mg
=  3.91mg  x  1g/1000mg=  3.91  x10^-3 g
moles= mass/molar mass
that  is  3.91  x10^-3g  /99 g/mol=3.95 x10^-5moles
concentration=   moles  /  vol   in  liters

that  is  3.95  x10^-5/100  x1000=  3.94  x10^-4M

equation for  dissociation  of  CUCl=   CUCl---->  CU^+   +Cl^-

Ksp=(CU+)(CI-)
that  is  (3.95  x10^-4)(3.95  x10^-4)
Ksp=  1.56  x10^-7
