Question
Write a balanced equation for the reaction of hydrofluoric acid with $\mathrm{SiO}_{2}$. What volume of $2.0 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HF}$ is required to react with one gram of silicon dioxide?
Step 1
The reaction forms silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) and water (H2O). The balanced equation is: \[4HF + SiO_2 \rightarrow SiF_4 + 2H_2O\] Show more…

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of hydrofluoric acid with $\mathrm{SiO}_{2}$. What volume of $2.0 \mathrm{M}$ HF is required to react with one gram of silicon dioxide?
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is used to etch glass $\left(\mathrm{SiO}_{2}\right)$. The products of the reaction are silicon tetrafluoride and water. Write the balanced chemical equation.
Solid silicon dioxide, often called silica, reacts with hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution to produce the gas silicon tetrafluoride and water. a. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. b. List three mole ratios, and explain how you would use them in stoichiometric calculations.
