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!

Write the names and symbols for four elements in each of the following categories: (a) nonmetal, (b) metal, (c)metalloid.

Over [174]

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species that are electron deficient and they are able to accept one or more electrons from a donor atom in order to complete their octet.

For example, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), chlorine, (Cl), phosphorus (P) etc are all non-metals.

Metals are the species that contain more number of electrons in their valence shell and in order to attain stability they easily lose an electron.

For example, sodium (Na), lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg) etc are all metals.

Metalloids are the species that show properties of both metals and non-metals.

For example, Boron (B), Antimony (Sb), Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge) etc are metalloids.

Draw the structure of the bromohydrin formed when (Z)-3-hexene reacts with Br2/H2O. Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate st

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

(3R,4R)-4-bromohexan-3-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have reaction called halohydrin formation. This is a markovnikov reaction with anti configuration. Therefore the halogen in this case "Br" and the "OH" must have different configurations. Additionally, in this molecule both carbons have the same substitution, so the "OH" can go in any carbon.

Finally, in the product we will have chiral carbons, so we have to find the absolute configuration for each carbon. On carbon 3 we will have an "R" configuration on carbon 4 we will have also an "R" configuration. (See figure 1)

I hope it helps!
