MCQ
Which of the following attacks glass
  • A
    $HCl$
  • $HF$
  • C
    $HI$
  • D
    $HBr$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$HF$
b
(b) Glass being a mixture of sodium and calcium silicates reacts with hydrofluoric acid forming sodium and calcium fluorosilicates respectively.

$N{a_2}Si{O_3} + 3{H_2}{F_2} \to N{a_2}Si{F_4} + 3{H_2}O$

$CaSi{O_3} + 3{H_2}{F_2} \to CaSi{F_4} + 3{H_2}O$

The etching of glass is based on these reactions.
