Hydrochloric acid and sodium silicate reaction and observation.
August 7, 2021 | education
| Solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium silicate are colorless and transparent. Acids react with salts of those acids that are weaker. Silicate is a salt of the weakest silicic acid, in the solubility table we see that it is insoluble. Therefore, when the solutions are drained, we will observe the precipitation of a gel-like precipitate of silicic acid.
2 HCl + Na2SiO3 = 2 NaCl + H2SiO3 (molecular)
2 H (+) +2 Cl (-) +2 Na (+) + SiO3 (2-) = 2 Na (+) + 2 Cl (-) + H2SiO3 (full ionic)
2 H (+) + SiO3 (2-) = H2SiO3 (abbreviated ionic)
