MCQ
Silicon dissolves in excess of $HF$ due to formation of
  • A
    $SiF_4$
  • B
    $SiH_4$
  • $H_2SiF_6$
  • D
    $H_2SiF_4$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$H_2SiF_6$
c
HF is a very strong acid and can also react with silicon and corrode its lattice

$\mathrm{Si}+4 \mathrm{HF} \rightarrow \mathrm{SiF}_{4}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}$

$\begin{array}{l}\downarrow \mathrm{HF} \\\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SiF}_{6}\end{array}$
