Options
- AH ₂ SO ₄
- BHF
- CHNO ₃
- DK ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇
Correct answer
B. HF
Step-by-step solution
Silica ( SiO ₂ ) is present in the glass. This silica react with hydrofluoric acid. aligned SiO ₂+4 HF & SiF ₄+2 H ₂ O SiF ₄+2 HF & H ₂ SiF ₆ fluorosilicic acid aligned Note : HF is used for the etching of glass.
