Question 62-65

 

 

Base your answers to questions 62-65

Cobalt-60 is an artificial isotope of Co-59. The incomplete equation for the decay of cobalt-60, including beta and gamma emissions, is shown below.

 

62. Explain in terms of BOTH protons and neutrons, why Co-59 and Co-60 are isotopes of cobalt.

Answer--> same number of protons, different number of neutrons

63. Compare the penetrating power of the beta and gamma radiation.

Answer--> gamma is more penetrating than beta

or beta is less penetrating than gamma

64.  Complete the nuclear equation in your answer book

Answer-->  X= Ni-60 
60 Ni
28

65. Based on Table N, determine the total time required for a 80.00 gram sample of Co-60 to decay until only 10.00 grams of the sample remains unchanged.
Answer--> 15.813y

80g--> 40g--> 20g--> 10g

3 x 5.271y
