The parent isotope is cobalt-59 (see the picture below).

The mass number is 59 and atomic number is 27 of the parent isotope.

Neutron activation is the process in which atomic nucleus capture free neutron or neutrons.

Cobalt-60  is produced in nuclear reactors in process of neutron activation from parent isotope cobalt-59 (see the picture below).

Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons and mass number (A) is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Cobalt-59 and cobalt-60 are the isotopes of chemical element cobalt.

Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number (Z), but different mass number (different number of neutrons).

An empty container weighs 80.21 g. it is filled with 20.14 mL of an unknown liquid, and the total weight of the container and li
tatiyna

Answer:

1.242 g/mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of the empty container (m₁): 80.21 g

Mass of the filled container (m₂): 105.22 g

Volume of the unknown liquid (V): 20.14 mL

Step 2: Calculate the mass of the liquid

The mass of the liquid is equal to the difference between the mass of the filled container and the mass of the empty container.

m = m_2 - m_1 = 105.22g - 80.21 g = 25.01 g

Step 3: Calculate the density of the unknown liquid

The density of the liquid is equal to its mass divided by its volume.

\rho = \frac{m}{V} = \frac{25.01g}{20.14mL} = 1.242 g/mL

What is the correct symbol of an ion containing 17 protons,20 neutrons and 18 electrons
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The symbol of the ion is A^-

Explanation:

Let A be the symbol of the element.

Proton = 17

Electron = 18

Neutron = 20

Since the element has more electrons than protons, it means it has gain electrons.

From the question given,

The difference between the electron and proton = 18 — 17 = 1

So, the element has gain 1 electron.

Therefore the symbol of the ion is A^-

What is the volume of an object that has a mass of 3.5 grams and has a density of 2.50 g/mL? Include units and proper sig figs l
jolli1 [7]

1.4mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 3.5g

density = 2.5g/mL

Unknown:

Volume of the object = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a body. It is an intensive property that is the same for the same substances.

   Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

  since the volume is unknown; we make it the subject of the formula;

 Volume = \frac{mass}{density}

Volume = \frac{3.5}{2.5}

Volume of the object = 1.4mL
