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).

I believe it would be a compound.
1) Chemical reaction:
Fe2O3 + 2Al ---> Al2O3 + 2Fe
2) molar ratios
1 mol Fe2O3 : 2Al : 1 mol Al2O3 : 2 mol Fe
3) Convert 15.0 g of iron into moles
atomic mass Fe = 55.8 g/mol
moles = mass in grams / atomic mass = 15.0 g / 55.8 g/mol = 0.269 mol
4) Use proportions to determine the moles of Fe2O3, Al, and Al2O3
a) 1mol Fe2O3 / 2 mol Fe = x / 0.269 mol Fe
x =
=> x = 0.269 mol Fe * 1 mol Fe2O3 / 2 mol Fe = 0.134 mol Fe2O3
b) 2 mol Al / 2 mol Fe = x / 0.269 mol Fe
=> x = 0.269 mol Al
c) 2 mol Fe / 1 mol Al2O3 = 0.269 mol Fe / x
=> x = 0.269 mol Fe * 1 mol Al2O3 / 2 mol Fe
x = 0.134 mol Al2O3
5) Convert moles to grams
a) Fe2O3
molar mass Fe2O3 = 2* 55.8 g/mol + 3*16g/mol = 159.6 g/mol
mass = molar mass * number of moles
mass = 159.6 g/mol * 0.134 mol = 21.4 g
b) Al
atomic mass = 27.0 g/mol
mass = number of moles * atomic mass = 0.269 mol * 27.0 g/mol = 7.26 g
c) Al2O3
molar mass = 2 * 27.0 g/mol + 3*16.0 g/mol = 102.0g/mol
mass Al2O3 = numer of moles * molar mass = 0.134 mol * 102.0 g/mol = 13.7 g
Answers:
21.4 g Fe2O3
7.26 g Al
13.7 g Al2O3
