Answer:
We report an unusual case of mercury vapor poisoning from using a heated tobacco product. The suspect had added grains of mercury into 20 cigarettes in a pack. When a 36-year-old Japanese man inserted one of these cigarettes into the battery powered holder, it was heated to a temperature of 350 °C, and he inhaled vaporized mercury. After using 14 of the cigarettes over 16 h, he noticed he had flu-like symptoms so he visited the hospital. Although no physical abnormalities were revealed, 99 μg/L of mercury was detected in his serum sample. His general condition improved gradually and his whole blood mercury level had decreased to 38 μg/L 5 days later. When the remaining six cigarettes in the pack were examined, many metallic grains weighing a total of 1.57 g were observed. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry confirmed the grains as elemental mercury. Accordingly, the victim was diagnosed with mercury poisoning. Because the mercury was incorporated into cigarettes, an unusual and novel intoxication occurred through the heating of the tobacco product. Both medical and forensic scientific examination confirmed this event as attempted murder.

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.
Answer:
2.2 x 10²² molecules.
Explanation:
- Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles in (6.0 g) sodium phosphate:
<em>no. of moles = mass/molar mass </em>= (6.0 g)/(163.94 g/mol) = <em>0.0366 mol.</em>
- <em>It is known that every mole of a molecule contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules.</em>
<em />
<u><em>using cross multiplication:</em></u>
1.0 mole of sodium phosphate contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.
0.0366 mole of sodium phosphate contains → ??? molecules.
<em>∴ The no. of molecules in 6.0 g of sodium phosphate</em> = (6.022 x 10²³ molecules)(0.0366 mole)/(1.0 mole) = <em>2.2 x 10²² molecules.</em>
