65. Because carbon and silicon are bothelements in group 14 on the periodic table, we expect them to reactwith other elements in similar ways. To some extent, then do, butin some cases, carbon and silicon compounds that seem to haveanalogous structures have very different chemical characteristics.For example, carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 is very stablein the presence of water, but silicon tetrachloride,CCl4, reacts quickly with water. The unbalanced equationfor this reaction is
               SiCl4 + H2O à Si(OH)4 + HCl
- Balance this equation.
- Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert betweenmoles of SiCl4 and moles of H2O
- How many moles of SiCl4 react with 24 moles ofwater?
- Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert betweenmoles of Si(OH)4 and moles of water.
- How many moles of Si(OH)4 form when 4.01 moles ofH2O react with an excess of SiCl4?
