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.

Hydrogen sulfide,H2S, is a very toxic gas with a smell of rotten eggs. using the following: H2S+3/2 O2=SO2+H2O H2+1/2O2=H2O S+O2
Serga [27]

Answer:

ΔH = -20kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of formation of a compound is defined as the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements. For H₂S(g) the reaction that describes this process is:

H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g)

Using Hess's law, it is possible to sum the enthalpies of several reactions to obtain the change in enthalpy of a particular reaction thus:

<em>(1) </em>H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) → SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) ΔH = -519 kJ

<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

The sum of -(1) + (2) + (3) gives:

<em>-(1) </em>SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) → H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) ΔH = +519 kJ

<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

<em>-(1) + (2) + (3): </em><em>H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g) </em>

<em>ΔH =</em> +519kJ - 242kJ - 297kJ = <em>-20 kJ</em>

How many liters of oxygen gas, at standard
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • For the balanced reaction:

<em>4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃(s)​.</em>

It is clear that 4 mol of Fe react with 3 mol of O₂ to produce 2 mol of Fe₂O₃.

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 35.8 grams of Fe metal:

no. of moles of Fe = mass/molar mass = (35.8 g)/(55.845 g/mol) = 0.64 mol.

  • Now, we can find the no. of moles of O₂ is needed to react with the proposed amount of Fe:

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

4 mol of Fe is needed to react with → 3 mol of O₂, from stichiometry.

0.64 mol of Fe is needed to react with → ??? mol of O₂.

∴ The no. of moles of O₂ needed = (3 mol)(0.64 mol)/(4 mol) = 0.48 mol.

  • Finally, we can get the volume of oxygen using the information:

<em>It is known that 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at standard P and T (STP).</em>

<em></em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1 mol of O₂ occupies → 22.4 L, at STP conditions.

0.48 mol of O₂ occupies → ??? L.

∴ The no. of liters of O₂ = (0.48 mol)(22.4 L)/(1 mol) = 10.752 L.

1 What direction do<br> molecules move in?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The majority of the molecules move from higher to lower concentration, although there will be some that move from low to high. The overall (or net) movement is thus from high to low concentration.

3. Move the slider on the burette to the top to add about 25 mL of NaOH to the flask. What
UNO [17]

Answer:

When you move the burette slider to the top of a flask and add about 25 mL of NaOH to the flask, you will cause a concentration of OH- molecules. This will make the solution become a basic solution and make the litmus paper blue.

Explanation:

After reading your question, we can see that you are carrying out a test to discover the nature of the pH of a solution. This type of test uses litmus paper, which is an indicator of the presence of acids and bases, being able to determine the pH of a solution. This paper is soaked in organic ink and when placed in an acidic solution, it is red in color. However, when placed in a basic solution it has a blue color.

An acidic solution is one that has a high concentration of H+ atoms and has the ability to donate electrons. The basic solution, on the other hand, has a high concentration of OH- and has the capacity to receive electrons.

When you move the burette slider to the top of a flask and add about 25 mL of NaOH to the flask, you will cause a concentration of OH- molecules. This will make the solution become a basic solution and make the litmus paper blue, that is, the solution has the basic pH.
