MCQ
Which of the following compound forms silicones on hydrolysis ?
  • $(CH_3)_2SiCl_2$
  • B
    $(SiH_3)_3N$
  • C
    $SiCl_4$
  • D
    All

Answer

Correct option: A.
$(CH_3)_2SiCl_2$
a
Silicones are a group of organosilicon polymers, which have $\left(-\mathrm{R}_{2} \mathrm{SiO}-\right)$ as a repeating unit.

The starting materials for the manufacture of silicones are alkyl or aryl substituted silicon chlorides, $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{SiCl}_{(4-\mathrm{n})}$, where $\mathrm{R}$ is alkyl or aryl group.

On hydrolysis of this alkyl or aryl substituted silicon chlorides the silicones are formed.

Among given options, option A is the only alkyl substituted silicone chloride and hence it is correct answer.

A blue whales gain $75\ kg$ of mass per day by feeding on krill. The whale must consume ten times this mass of krill each day. The krill must consume $10.0\ kg$ of diatoms to produce $1.0\ kg$ of krill. Assuming that the mass gain of a whale's life is due to the consumption of carbohydrates $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ , calculate the moles of $CO_2$ that must be used by the diatoms to produce the carbohydrates consumed by a blue whale in a day
