The half life of a radioactive element is the time needed to the element to decay and reach the half amount of the initial amount. Here we have a radioisotope element which decays its half from 10,000 to 5,000 in two days. Therefore, its half life is 2 days.

A chemist wants to calculate the amount of heat that is absorbed by a sample of copper as it is melted. Which constant should sh
34kurt

The constant used for the absorption of heat by the sample in melting is +\Delta H_{fus}.  Thus, option A is correct.

The chemical reaction has been defined as the energy in which the energy has been released or absorbed for the breaking of bonds in the reactants and the formation of product.

<h3>Constant for energy absorbed</h3>

The energy has been absorbed in the melting of the copper sample. Thus, the sample has been converted from the solid to the liquid state.

The change in energy with the conversion in solid and liquid state has been termed as heat of fusion.

The energy has been absorbed by the system, thus it has been marked with the positive sign.

Therefore, +\Delta H_{fus} has been the constant used for the absorption of heat by the sample in melting. Thus, option A is correct.
