Hey there!
Balance the equation:
SiCl₄ + H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + HCl
Balance H.
2 on the left, 5 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O and a coefficient of 2 in front of HCl.
SiCl₄ + 3H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl
Balance O.
3 on the left, 4 on the right. Change the coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O to a 4.
SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl
This unbalanced our H, so change the coefficient of 2 in front of HCl to a 4.
SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl
Balance Cl.
4 on the left, 4 on the right. Already balanced.
Balance Si.
1 on the left, 1 on the right. Already balanced.
Our final balanced equation:
SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl
Hope this helps!
