4Al + 3K2SiF6 = 6KF + 3Si + 4AIF3 is the reaction for preparation of silicon by the reduction of K₂SiF6 with Al.

AlF3xH2O-based inorganic compounds are referred to as aluminium fluoride. They are all solids without colour. Aluminium fluoride is a crystalline (sand-like), odourless, white, or colourless powder. In addition to being used to make aluminium, it also functions as a flux in welding processes and in ceramic glazes and enamels.

Silicon (Si) is created by reducing potassium silicofluoride with aluminium as the reducing agent (K2SIF6). While K2SiF6 is reduced to Si in this equation, aluminium is oxidised to aluminium fluoride. As a result, the balanced equation describing aluminum's reduction of K2SiF6 to silicon non-metal is as follows: 4Al + 3K2SiF6 = 6KF + 3Si + 4AIF3

AlexFokin [52]

Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.
