Answer:

SiH4

Explanation:

We must remember that the magnitude of intermolecular forces play a vital role in the determination of the boiling point of a substance.

The Si-H bond is the least polar among all the bonds in compounds listed in the question. This is because the electronegativity difference between silicon and hydrogen is very slim resulting in the formation of a nonpolar covalent bond.

The other compounds possess more polar bonds hence have a greater degree of dipole interaction between molecules and a consequently higher boiling point than SiH4.

How manymoles of each ion are present in 175 mL of 0.147 M Fe2(SO4)3?

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 0.0257 moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and 0.0257 moles of $SO_4^{2-}$

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text {Volume in L}}$

moles of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3=Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=0.147\times 0.175L=0.0257moles$

The balanced reaction for dissociation will be:

$Fe_2(SO_4)_3\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+SO_4^{2-}$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ gives 1 mole of $Fe^{3+}$ and 1 mole of $SO_4^{2-}$

Thus there will be 0.0257 moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and 0.0257 moles of $SO_4^{2-}$

A bond in which one atom contributes both bonding electrons to a covalentbond

yKpoI14uk [10]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

A coordinate bond

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A chemical bond is a force of attraction between two or more atoms of elements.
Covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between non-metal atoms.
It occurs as a result of sharing of electrons between the non-metal atoms.
Atoms involved in covalent bond formation may contribute equally to the bond formation or the electrons shared may come form one of the atoms.
When the electrons shared in a covalent bond are derived from one atom, then the covalent bond is known as a coordinate bond.
