Question

Hydrolisis of sicl4 gives

Answer 1

Explanation:

Usually hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. Sometimes this addition causes both substance and water molecule to split into two parts. In such reactions, one fragment of the target molecule (or parent molecule) gains a hydrogen ion.

Answer 2

Hydrolysis of SiCl₄:

SiCl₄ + 2H₂O → SiO₂ + 4HCl

Explanation:

• SiCl₄ is silicon tetrachloride. It is an inorganic compound and it is a volatile liquid.
• This compound readily undergoes hydrolysis by forming silica or silica dioxide.
• When silicon tetrachloride reacts with water, it gives out fumes of hydrochloric acid which is produced as cloud-like aerosol.
• SiCl₄ reacts with alcohol to form tetraethyl orthosilicate.
