What is the completion of a metric space $(\mathbb{Q}, |\ \ |)$?

    "a problem to show the isomorphism" ... OK, on one side is the completion of $\mathbb Q$, on the other side is $\mathbb R$ ... so we need a definition of $\mathbb R$ in order to help you.2012-06-10

A metric space $X$ is complete if every Cauchy sequence $a_n \in X$ converges to an element $a \in X$.

The completion of $X$ therefore is the metric space $\bar X$, that contains all elements of $X$, plus the limits of all possible cauchy sequences in $X$ equipped with the same metric as $X$. There is no straight forward way in finding the completion of a Metric space.

In your particular case it was already mentioned in the comments, that the completion of $\mathbb{Q}$ with the canonical metric is $\mathbb{R}$ with the canonical metric.

If $X$ is a metric space, then the completion of $X$, denote it by $X_c$, is the smallest complete metric space containing $X$ as a subspace. That is, if $Y$ is complete and contains $X$ as a subspace, then $Y$ also contains $X_c$ as a subspace.

If $Y$ is complete, then a subspace of $Y$ is complete if and only if it is closed in $Y$.

Assuming that you have proved these two things, you can use them to find that the completion of $(\mathbb{Q}, |\cdot|)$ is $(\mathbb{R}, |\cdot|)$. What must a complete subspace of $\mathbb{R}$ containing $\mathbb{Q}$ be?
