Silicon chloride react with water

Silicon chloride react with water to produce silicic acids and hydrogen chloride.

Individual reactions:

Elementary acts:

• a) SiCl₄ + H₂O → [Si(H₂O)Cl₄] (activated complex)
• [Si(H₂O)Cl₄] → SiCl₃(OH) + HCl
• b) SiCl₃(OH) + H₂O → [Si(H₂O)Cl₃(OH)] (activated complex)
• [Si(H₂O)Cl₃(OH)] → SiCl₂(OH)₂ + HCl
• c) SiCl₂(OH)₂ → SiO₂ + 2HCl
• d) 2SiCl₃(OH) → Cl₃Si-O-SiCl₃ + H₂O
• Cl₃Si-O-SiCl₃ + 3H₂O → 2SiO₂ + 6HCl
