How much cobalt will remain in the rock after 21.2 years?

This seems to refer to radioactive decay. The answer would depend on the isotope of cobalt used! For example, cobalt-59 is stable, so in this case, all of the original cobalt would remain.For more information, check the Wikipedia article entitled "Isotopes of cobalt".


When iron 59 undergoes beta decay what is the results?

The daughter product in this nuclear process will be cobalt-59, which is stable. One neutron becomes a proton and an electron. The proton remains, adding 1 to the nuclide's atomic number; the electron is emitted as a beta particle.

What is cobalts atomic number?

A typical atom of cobalt contains 32 neutrons. Cobalt's atomic number is 27, so that's 27 protons. Its average atomic mass is about 59, so 59-27=32. Note: different isotopes of cobalt will have either more or less neutrons than 32, but most likely, cobalt's most abundant isotope has 32. The atomic mass value on the periodic table, which is 58.933, is a weighted average of all cobalt's isotopes.


59 plus 59 plus 58 divided by 3?

What has 27 protons and 32 neutrons?

The element cobalt has 27 protons. Since the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in your particular question is 59, the answer to what has 27 protons and 32 neutrons is the particular isotope of cobalt labeled 59Co. This is cobalt's only stable isotope.
