    Hydrolysis  of \[\text{SiC}{{\text{l}}_{4}}\]  gives  compound X and \[\text{HCl}\text{.}\] On heating to \[\text{1000}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C,}\] X loses water and forms Y. Identify X and Y, respectively

    A)  \[\text{Si}{{\text{O}}_{2}}\]and Si                          

    B)  \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\text{Si}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\] and \[\text{Si}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]

    C)   \[\text{Si}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] and \[\text{SiC}\] 

    D)  \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\text{Si}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\] and \[\text{SiC}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[\text{SiC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\] on hydrolysis gives orthosilicic acid \[({{H}_{4}}Si{{O}_{4}})\] and \[\text{HCl}\text{.}\]Orthosilicic acid on strong heating at \[1000{{\,}^{o}}C\]loses tow water molecules and gives \[\text{Si}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\](silica). \[SiC{{l}_{4}}+4{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{(X)}{\mathop{{{H}_{4}}Si{{O}_{4}}}}\,+4HCl\] \[{{H}_{4}}Si{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{1000\,{{\,}^{o}}C}\underset{(Y)}{\mathop{Si{{O}_{2}}}}\,+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
