Answer:

SiH4 is nonpolar and BBr3 is nonpolar and SiF4 is nonpolar.

Explanation:

SiH4 is a non-polar compound. Though the Si–H bonds are polar, as a result of different electronegativities of Si and H. However, as there are 4 electron repulsions around the central Si atom, the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically around the central atom having a tetrahedral shape hence they cancel out making the compound nonpolar.

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine atoms are arranged symetrically around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out just like in SiH4.

The 3 bromine atoms all lie in the same plane thus the geometry of the compound will be trigonal planar. The BBr3 will be non polar because the three B-Br bonds will cancel out each others' dipole moment given that they are in the same plane.

If you needed to make 100 mL of a 0.2 M fruit drink solution from the 1.0 M fruit drink solution, how would you do it? (Hint: Us
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: We take 20 ml of 1.0 M fruit drink and add 80 ml of water to get 100 ml of 0.2 M solution.

Explanation:

According to the neutralization law,

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1 = molarity of stock solution = 0.2 M

V_1 = volume of stock solution = 100 ml

M_2 = molarity of resulting solution = 1.0 M

V_2 = volume of resulting solution = ?

Now put all the given values in the above law, we get the volume of resulting solution.

(0.2M)\times 100=(1.0M)\times (V_2)

V_2=20ml

Therefore, the volume of 1.0 M required is 20 ml.

We take 20 ml of 1.0 M fruit drink and add 80 ml of water to get 100 ml of 0.2 M solution.

Is the environment considered a non controllable risk factor?
sweet [91]

I'm on the same question. I think the answer is False because you can take step to prevent environment risk factors such as applying sunscreen, avoiding violence and avoiding second-hand smoke. Hope this helps.
