Explain the following reactions:
  1. Silicon dioxide is treated with hydrogen fluoride.
  2. Carbon is heated with ZnO.
  3. Hydrated Alumina is treated with aqueous NaOH solution.

Answer

  1. $\text{SiO}_2+6\text{HF}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ }\text{H}_2\text{SiF}_6+2\text{H}_2\text{O}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^\text{Fluosilicic}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^\text{acid}$
  2. $\text{ZnO}+\text{C}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{Zn}+\text{CO}$
