    \[\text{Si}{{\text{O}}_{2}}\] is soluble in:

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]                                

    B)  \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[HF\]                                 

    D)  \[HCl\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     \[\text{Si}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{.}\]  is   soluble   in   HF   only. Therefore/HP cannot be stored in glass or silica bottles as it attack silicates as well as silica. \[N{{a}_{2}}Si{{O}_{3}}+6HF\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}_{2}}Si{{F}_{6}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\] \[CaSi{{O}_{3}}+6HF\xrightarrow{{}}CaSi{{F}_{6}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\] \[Si{{O}_{2}}+4HF\xrightarrow{{}}Si{{F}_{4}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\] This action of HF on silica and silicates is used for etching glass.
