The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the hydrolysis of SiCl₄ and the subsequent reactions. ### Step 1: Hydrolysis of SiCl₄ When silicon tetrachloride (SiCl₄) undergoes hydrolysis, it reacts with water (H₂O) to form silicic acid (Si(OH)₄) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). **Reaction:** \[ \text{SiCl}_4 + 4 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Si(OH)}_4 + 4 \text{HCl} \] ### Step 2: Identify Compound 'X' From the reaction above, we can identify compound 'X' as silicic acid, which is represented by the formula Si(OH)₄. ### Step 3: Heating Compound 'X' Next, we need to consider what happens when silicic acid (Si(OH)₄) is heated to 1000°C. Upon heating, Si(OH)₄ loses water (H₂O) and forms silicon dioxide (SiO₂). **Reaction:** \[ \text{Si(OH)}_4 \xrightarrow{1000^\circ C} \text{SiO}_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] ### Step 4: Identify Compound 'Y' From the reaction above, we can identify compound 'Y' as silicon dioxide (SiO₂). ### Final Answer Thus, the compounds 'X' and 'Y' are: - **X:** Si(OH)₄ (Silicic acid) - **Y:** SiO₂ (Silicon dioxide)
