Chemical reactions can result in new compounds, while nuclear reactions can result in new elements.

Chemical reactions might be fast -- burning gasoline, or slow -- rusting. Usually the require two or more reactants. Most of these, along with requiring more than 1 substance, also requires something to get it started ... burning needs a spark to start it.
Nuclear decay only requires 1 thing, the radioactive element. Wait and it spontaneously undergoes decay.

A 475 cm3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is allowed to expand until it occupies a

Andrej [43]

The final temperature : 345 K

<h3> Further explanation </h3>

Given

475 cm³ initial volume

600 cm³ final volume

Required

The final temperature

Solution

At standard temperature and pressure , T = 273 K and 1 atm

Charles's Law :

When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature

V₁/T₁=V₂/T₂

Input the value :

T₂=(V₂T₁)/V₁

T₂=(600 x 273)/475

T₂=345 K

Draw the Lewis dot structure for RbIO2. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons. Show the formal charges of all atom

Rzqust [24]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $RbIO_2$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $RbIO_2$

As we know that rubidium has '1' valence electrons, iodine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $RbIO_2$ = 1 + 7 + 2(6) = 20

As we know that $RbIO_2$ is an ionic compound because it is formed by the transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal element.
