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.
the coefficients are equal is NOT a sign that a double displacement reaction has occurred
<u>Explanation:</u>
Usually during solutions of two ionic compounds are combined a precipitate (solid) is created. The mix may become cloudy, or may also separate, with the solids falling at the seat of the receptacle. Infrequently, the mix may bubble as a gas or water is produced.
A precipitation reaction is at two aqueous ionic compounds that make a unique ionic compound that is not soluble in water. The insoluble product compound is called the precipitate. The reaction, in this case, is not balanced, which are evaluated by summing coefficients.
Answer:
The balanced equation for the dissociation of KI is
KI → K⁺ + I⁻
Explanation:
KI is the potassium iodide.
K⁺ comes from the KOH, a strong base, so the cation is the conjugate weak acid and in water it does not react.
I⁻ comes from HI, a strong acid, so the anion is the conjugate weak base and in water it does not react.
K⁻ + H₂O ← KOH + H⁺
I⁻ + H₂O ← HI + OH⁻
That's why the arrow in the reaction is in the opposite direction.
In electroplating with silver, silver cyanide is used in the electrolyte rather than other compounds of silver such as silver nitrate, AgNO3, because the cyanide ion, CN-, reacts with silver ion, Ag+, to form the complex ion Ag(CN) -.
