Cobalt-60m decays by emitting a gamma particle. This changes neither the atomic number nor the isotope number, since no nucleons are lost. The gamma particle has an energy of 58.59 keV. The resulting atom is Cobalt-60.
In the beta minus decay of cobalt-60 (Co-60), a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, resulting in the emission of a beta particle (electron) and an antineutrino. The balanced nuclear reaction can be represented as: [ ^{60}{27}\text{Co} \rightarrow ^{60}{28}\text{Ni} + e^- + \bar{\nu} ] Here, Co-60 decays into nickel-60 (Ni-60), with the emission of a beta particle (e^-) and an antineutrino (ν̄).
No, cobalt-60 is a synthetic radioactive isotope of cobalt. It is produced by bombarding stable cobalt-59 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
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.
Yes, copper sulfate can replace cobalt chloride in a replacement reaction if the correct conditions are met. However, the reaction may proceed differently than with cobalt chloride due to the different properties of copper and cobalt ions. It is important to consider the specific reaction conditions and products desired when making this substitution.
This depends on the reaction involved.

Beta Particle
Cobalt-60 decays by beta particle emission to highly excited isomers of Nickel-60, as these isomers relax to the ground state of Nickel-60 highly energetic gamma rays are emitted.
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.

The nuclear charge of cobalt (Co) is 27+, the same as the atomic number and the number of protons. If you want to know the effective nuclear charge Zeff, that requires a more complicated calculation.

When cobalt is mixed with sulfuric acid, it undergoes a reaction to produce cobalt(II) sulfate and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Co + H2SO4 -> CoSO4 + H2
Don't quote me on this - I'm just a Year 12 student trying to figure this out but... As I understand it the cobalt chloride does not actually react with the ethanol but rather the ethanol has an effect on the equilibrium reaction: Co(H2O)62+ + 4Cl-(aq) D CoCl42-(aq) + 6H2O(l) The ethanol separates the cobalt chloride from the water pushing the reaction towards the right hand side (blue) to restore equilibrium (Le Chatelier's principle). When water is added more H2O can react with the CoCl42-(aq) pushing the reaction back towards the left hand side (pink). I hope this helps and I'm sorry if I'm wrong!
When cobalt nitrate is added to water, it dissociates into cobalt ions and nitrate ions. The cobalt ions may further react with water molecules to form a hydrated cobalt complex. Overall, the reaction is generally exothermic.
