    Which of the following attacks glass

    A)  \[HCl\]                       

    B)  \[HBr\]           

    C)       \[HI\]                 

    D)       \[HF\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Hydrofluoric acid (HF) reacts with glass sodium and calcium silicate, thus greasy fluorosilicate are formed. This phenomenon is called 'etching of glass', so HF is not stored in glass vessels. \[N{{a}_{2}}Si{{O}_{3}}+6HF\to N{{a}_{2}}Si{{F}_{6}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\] \[C{{a}_{2}}Si{{O}_{3}}+6HF\to CaSi{{F}_{6}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\] Hence, the correct option is (d).
