Question

15 multiple choice 1 point nonpolar substances do not dissolve in polar solvents like water. if youre conducting an investigation to test the solubility of different substances. which of these substances do you expect to be insoluble in water? silane (sih₄) hydrogen fluoride (hf) hydrogen sulfide (h₂s) ammonia (nh₃)

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent. Non - polar substances are insoluble in polar solvents. Silane ($SiH_4$) has a symmetrical tetrahedral structure and is non - polar. Hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), and ammonia ($NH_3$) are polar molecules due to differences in electronegativity and molecular geometry and can dissolve in water.

Answer:

Silane ($SiH_4$)
