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).

A chemist wants to find Kc for the following reaction at 709 K:2NH3(g) + 3 I2 (g) ----> 6HI(g) + N2(g)
irakobra [83]

Answer:

422455.41

Explanation:

Corrected from source,

Given that:-

N2(g) + 3 H2(g)\rightarrow 2NH3(g) \ Kc_1 = 0.314

The equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction will be the reciprocal of the initial reaction.

The value of equilibrium constant the reaction

2NH3(g)\rightarrow N2(g) + 3 H2(g)

is:

Kc_{1}'=\frac{1}{0.314}

H2(g) + I2(g)\rightarrow 2 HI(g)\  Kc_2 = 51

If the equation is multiplied by a factor of '3', the equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction will be the cube of the equilibrium constant  of initial reaction.

The value of equilibrium constant the reaction

3H2(g) + 3I2(g)\rightarrow 6 HI(g)

is:

Kc_{2}'={51}^3

Adding both the reactions we get the final reaction. So, the equilibrium constants must be multiplied.

The value of equilibrium constant the reaction

2NH3(g) + 3I2(g)\rightarrow 6 HI(g) + N2(g)

is:

Kc'=\frac{1}{0.314}\times {51}^3  = 422455.41

slega [8]

Answer:

The correct answer would be metamorphosis.

Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an immature form transforms into an adult form passing through numerous distinct stages.

It is mainly observed in amphibians and insects. For example, frog and butterfly.

The life cycle of a butterfly can be summarized as shown below.

Chemist preformed Reaction of solid magnesium burning and found that the mass of the magnesium oxide what is greater than the ma
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The magnesium reacted with the oxygen in the air.

Explanation:

For argument’s sake, let’s say that the mass of magnesium oxide was 3 g and that of the oxide was 5 g.  

The reaction was

            magnesium + oxygen ⟶ magnesium oxide

Mass:           3 g                                          5 g

Mass of oxygen = 5 g – 3 g = 2 g

The 3 g of magnesium must have combined with 2 g of oxygen to form 5 g of magnesium oxide.

A
Artemon [7]

Answer:

9.8ms^{-2}

Explanation:

using the equation :

acceleration = \frac{final  velocity - initial velocity}{timetaken} \\                      a  =\frac{v-u}{t}

where v is 98m/s

u is 0m/s

t is 10seconds

a=\frac{98m/s- 0m/s}{10} \\a=\frac{98}{10}\\ a=9.8m/s^{2}
