Answer:
The mixture is not in equilibrium, the reaction will shift to the left.
Explanation:
<em>Based on the equilibrium:</em>
<em>Fe³⁺+ HSCN ⇄ FeSCN²⁺ + H⁺</em>
<em>kc = 30 = [FeSCN²⁺] [H⁺] / [Fe³⁺] [HSCN]</em>
Where [] are concentrations at equilibrium. The reaction is in equilibrium when the ratio of concentrations = kc
Q is the same expression than kc but with [] that are not in equilibrium
Replacing:
Q = [10.0M] [1.0M] / [0.1M] [0.1M]
Q = 1000
As Q > kc, the reaction will shift to the left in order to produce Fe³⁺ and HSCN untill Q = Kc

Answer:
To the best of my knowledge, it is because of the amount of gamma rays is given off.
Explanation:
While both are isotopes, Potassium 40 gives off fewer gamma rays compared to Cobalt 60. Potassium 40 isn't really harmful to humans, but Cobalt 60 (I believe) is used in chemotherapy.
