By changing the number of protons in an element, you are fundamentally changing it to a different element.
It’s worth remembering that:
Protons identify the element
Electrons determine properties and behavior of the element
Neutrons contribute to isotopes and just help keep everything stable, by separating the charges. Remember opposites attract. Like charges repel.
Cobalt-59 and Cobalt-60 differ in that they have different mass number which means they have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with similar atomic number but different mass number. Cobalt-60, has a number of uses, which includes, being used to irradiate food sources as a method of preserving food, used in industrial radiography to detect structural flaws in metal parts among other uses.
Supposing complete ionization:
<span>BaBr2 → Ba{2+} + 2 Br{-} </span>
<span>(2.23 × 10^–4 g BaBr2) / (297.135 g BaBr2/mol) / (2.00 L) = 3.75 × 10^-7 mol/L BaBr2 </span>
<span>(3.75 × 10^-7 mol/L BaBr2) x (1 mol Ba{2+} / 1 mol BaBr2) = 3.75 × 10^-7 mol/L Ba{2+} </span>
<span>(3.75 × 10^-7 mol/L BaBr2) x (2 mol Br(-} / 1 mol BaBr2) = 7.50 × 10^-7 mol/L Br{-}</span>
