Answer: The product of beta decay of the Manganese isotope 57Mn is 57^Fe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcome of the beta decay of 57Mn isotope is 57Fe. This happens because during beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus turns into a proton and emits an electron, which increases the atomic number of the nucleus by one, but keeps the atomic mass the same.
