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!

13. Would you expect oxygen to form a cation or anion? How many electrons would it gain or lose? Why?

netineya [11]

Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

$O:8:1s^22s^22p^4$

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.

In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

$O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6$

rjkz [21]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.

Answer:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

Explanation:

When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.
