What would be the product of following reaction SiCl 4 ⟶ Excess of H 2 O ? (Major Product)
Options
- ASiCl 3 ( OH )
- BSi ( OH ) 4
- CSiCl 2 ( OH ) 2
- DSiCl 4 (no reaction)
Correct answer
B. Si ( OH ) 4
Step-by-step solution
We know that when silicon tetrachloride react with excess of water then it undergoes in full hydrolysis. The condition of hydrolysis is there should be presence of vacant orbital and there should be lesser stearic hindrance. Hence, SiCl 4   → H 2 O   excess   Si OH 4
