MCQ
The product obtained when silica reacts with hydrogen fluoride is
  • A
    $SiF_4$
  • $H_2SiF_6$
  • C
    $H_2SiF_4$
  • D
    $H_2SiF_3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$H_2SiF_6$
b
The final product formed when silica $\left(\mathrm{SiO}_{2}\right)$ reacts with hydrogen fluoride $(\mathrm{HF})$ is $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SiF}_{6} .$

The reactions are as follows:

$\mathrm{SiO}_{2}+4 \mathrm{HF} \rightarrow \mathrm{SiF}_{4}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$

$3 \mathrm{SiF}_{4}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SiF}_{6}+\mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{SiO}_{4}$
