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.

Consider the following reaction.Cr2O3(s) + 3CCl4(l) 2CrCl3(s) + 3COCl2(g). When the green solid is mixed with the colorless liq
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter B

Explanation:

Reaction

                 Cr2O3(s)   +   3CCl4(l)   ⇒  2CrCl3(s)  +   3COCl2(g)

From the information given and the reaction, we can conclude that:

Green solid = Cr2O3 (s)     "s" means solid

Colorless liquid = CCl4 (l)    "l" means liquid   and is the other reactant

Purple solid = CrCl3(s)        CrCl3 is purple and "s" solid

Then, as a green specks remains it means that the excess reactant is Cr2O3, so, CCl4 is the limiting reactant.
