The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, let's break down the steps involved in the reaction of calcium fluoride (CaF₂) and silicon dioxide (SiO₂) with concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), and determine the precipitate formed upon hydrolysis. ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants and Conditions We are given: - Calcium fluoride (CaF₂) - Silicon dioxide (SiO₂) - Concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) ### Step 2: Write the Reaction When CaF₂ and SiO₂ are heated with concentrated H₂SO₄, the following reaction occurs: \[ \text{CaF}_2 + \text{SiO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{SiF}_4 + \text{CaSO}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] In this reaction: - Silicon tetrafluoride (SiF₄) is produced. - Calcium sulfate (CaSO₄) and water (H₂O) are also formed. ### Step 3: Hydrolysis of the Products Upon hydrolysis of the products, particularly SiF₄, it reacts with water to form silicic acid (H₂SiO₃) and hydrofluoric acid (HF): \[ \text{SiF}_4 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{SiO}_3 + 4\text{HF} \] ### Step 4: Formation of the Precipitate Silicic acid (H₂SiO₃) is a gel-like substance that forms a white gelatinous precipitate when it is produced. This is the precipitate we are looking for. ### Conclusion The white gelatinous precipitate formed upon hydrolysis is **silicic acid (H₂SiO₃)**. ### Final Answer The precipitate is: **Silicic acid (H₂SiO₃)**.
