Cobalt-60 is produced by neutron activation. in this process, one neutron is absorbed by the nucleus of the parent isotope. what

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).

Solutions of lead(II) nitrate and potassium iodide were combined in a test tube.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Explanation: When solutions of potassium iodide and lead nitrate are combined?

The lead nitrate solution contains particles (ions) of lead, and the potassium iodide solution contains particles of iodide. When the solutions mix, the lead particles and iodide particles combine and create two new compounds, a yellow solid called lead iodide and a white solid called potassium nitrate. Chemical Equation Balancer Pb(NO3)2 + KI = KNO3 + PbI2. Potassium iodide and lead(II) nitrate are combined and undergo a double replacement reaction. Potassium iodide reacts with lead(II) nitrate and produces lead(II) iodide and potassium nitrate. Potassium nitrate is water soluble. The reaction is an example of a metathesis reaction, which involves the exchange of ions between the Pb(NO3)2 and KI. The Pb+2 ends up going after the I- resulting in the formation of PbI2, and the K+ ends up combining with the NO3- forming KNO3. NO3- All nitrates are soluble. ... (Many acid phosphates are soluble.)
