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).

What volume would 56.2 mL of gas at 820 mm of Hg occupy at 720 mm of Hg?
Andreyy89

Answer:

49.35  mL

Explanation:

Given: 56.2 mL of gas

To find: volume that 56.2 mL of gas at 820 mm of Hg would occupy at 720 mm of Hg

Solution:

At 820 mm of Hg, volume of gas is 56.2 mL

At 1 mm of Hg, volume of gas is \frac{56.2}{820}

At 720 mm of Hg, volume of gas is \frac{56.2}{820}(720)=49.35\,\,mL

Methanol (CH3OH) has a heat of fusion of 3.16 kJ/mol. Which of the following is the heat of solidification that occurs when 64 g
Alexandra [31]
To determine the heat dissipated when a substance freezes, we multiply the heat of fusion of the substance to the mass of the substance that freezes. We calculate as follows:

Heat = -3.16 (64/32.06) = - 6.32 kJ

Hope this answers the question.
