To start this question, we should know what is the atomic number of cobalt. The atomic number (the number of protons) of Cobalt is Z =27.

Now, we know that a Cobalt 60 isotope means an isotope of Cobalt whose Atomic Mass is 60.

Thus, in a Cobalt 60 isotope, the number of neutrons in the nucleus are

60-Z=60-27=33

From the question we know that the given nuclear mass is 59.933820 u.

Now, the mass defect of Cobalt 60 can be easily calculated by adding the masses of the protons and the neutrons as per our calculations and subtracting the given nuclear mass from it.

Thus,

Mass Defect = (Number of Protons Mass of Proton given in the question) + (Number of Neutrons Mass of Neutron given in the question)-59.933820 u

\therefore 27\times 1.007825+33\times 1.008665-59.933820=0.5634 u

Thus, the required Mass Defect is 0.5634u.

In eV, the Mass Defect is 931.5MeV\times 0.5634=534.807 MeV

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

B maybe? that doesnt equal any

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3x^2+6x

f(2)=3(2)^2+6(2)

f(2)=3(4)+12

f(2)=12+12

f(2)=24

Can you please help me with solving this math problem. 1/4 (x+2)=5/6
Verdich [7]

So firstly, multiply both sides by 4 (the reciprocal of 1/4): x+2=\frac{20}{6}=3\frac{2}{6}

Next, subtract both sides by 2 and your answer will be: x=1\frac{2}{6}

use the method of successive differences to determine the next term in the sequence: 4, 14, 82, 268, 657, 1359
IRISSAK [1]
The method of successive differences uses subtraction to the one number to the next and the process goes on until the difference settles constant which is not equal to zero. In this case, the constant difference reaches 25. Reversing the process to get the next term, the answer is 2509.
