Question

What is true about Carbon-14 and Carbon-12?

a. The mass of the Carbon-14 sample is less than the Carbon-12 sample, but the reactivity of both samples was the same.
b. The mass of the Carbon-14 sample is greater than the Carbon-12 sample, but the reactivity of both samples was the same .
c. The reactivity of the Carbon-14 sample is less than the Carbon-12 sample, but the mass of both samples was the same.
d. The reactivity of the Carbon-14 sample is greater than the Carbon-12 sample, but the mass of both samples was the same.

Answer 1

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct: b. The mass of the Carbon-14 sample is greater than the Carbon-12 sample, but the reactivity of both samples was the same .

- C-14 has two additional neutrons, so is heavier than C-12. The chemical properties will be the same, however.
