MCQ
$SiCl_4$ on hydrolysis gives
  • A
    silica
  • silicic acid
  • C
    silicone
  • D
    silicate

Answer

Correct option: B.
silicic acid
b
$\mathrm{SiCl}_{4}$ on hydrolysis gives silicic acid.

The reaction is as follows:

$\mathrm{SiCl}_{4}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{Si}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}+4 \mathrm{HCl}$

Hence, silicic acid is formed when $\mathrm{SiCl}_{4}$ undergoes hydrolysis.
