If cobalt-60 emits a gamma ray what is the product?
When cobalt-60 emits a gamma ray, it remains as cobalt-60. The emission of a gamma ray does not change the identity of the cobalt-60 isotope.
Is cobalt 60 natural?
No, cobalt-60 is a synthetic radioactive isotope of cobalt. It is produced by bombarding stable cobalt-59 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
What is the half -life of cobalt-60?
Cobalt-60 has an 1/2 life of 5.24 years
How is cobalt 60 and cobalt 59 the same element but have different mass numbers?
Cobalt 60 has an extra neutron buit that does not affect chemical properties
What is the equation for transmutation of cobalt?
Cobalt-60 decay to nickel-60:Co-60------------Ni-60 + 1 electron + 1 neutrino + gamma rays
What is the average cost for the cobalt 60?
Cobalt 60 is a radioactive chemical not usually available for sale. Cherolet manufactures the car Cobalt, which can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. Its cost is about $30,000.
What is the half value layer for cobalt-60?
I would not use Co-60 for shielding. Did you mean, "What is the half value layer for some shielding (XXXXXXXX) using Co-60 as a source of gamma ray energy?
What is the Heaviest isotope of cobalt?
The only natural isotope of Cobalt is Cobalt-59.
Is cobalt-60 suitable for treatment?
Cobalt 60 is a very valuable radiation source for the treaments of many types of cancers.
How many neutrons does a cobalt-60 atom have?
Since cobalt has an atomic number of 27, any isotope of it contains 27 protons and 27 electrons per atom. The isotope with mass number 60 contains (60 - 27) or 33 neutrons per atom.
When was cobalt 60 invented?
Tuesday
What element is used in self-luminous paint?
In modern times, Cobalt-60 is the substance used to make self-luminous paint. Cobalt-60 has replaced Radium's use for the same applications due to Radium's radiation danger.
