The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question step by step, we will analyze the reactions and transformations described. ### Step 1: Initial Reaction We start with the reaction of 2RCl with silicon (Si) in the presence of copper powder (Cu) at 570 K. **Reaction:** \[ 2RCl + Si \xrightarrow{\text{Cu, 570 K}} R_2SiCl_2 \] **Explanation:** - Here, RCl represents an alkyl chloride. - The silicon reacts with the alkyl chloride to form a compound known as disilicon dichloride, denoted as \( R_2SiCl_2 \). ### Step 2: Hydrolysis Next, we take the product \( R_2SiCl_2 \) and react it with water (H2O). **Reaction:** \[ R_2SiCl_2 + H_2O \rightarrow R_2Si(OH)_2 \] **Explanation:** - The presence of water leads to hydrolysis, replacing the chlorine atoms with hydroxyl (OH) groups, resulting in a compound known as dialkyl silanediol, represented as \( R_2Si(OH)_2 \). ### Step 3: Polymerization Now, we take the product \( R_2Si(OH)_2 \) and subject it to polymerization. **Reaction:** \[ R_2Si(OH)_2 \xrightarrow{\text{Polymerization}} X \] **Explanation:** - The dialkyl silanediol can undergo condensation reactions, where the hydroxyl groups can react with each other, leading to the formation of siloxane bonds (Si-O-Si). - This process results in the formation of a polymeric structure. ### Final Product The final product \( X \) is a polymer formed from the repeated units of \( R_2SiO \). **Conclusion:** The product \( X \) is a linear long-chain silicon polymer, which is characterized by a repeating unit of siloxane linkages. ### Answer: Thus, the final answer is **linear long chain silicon** (Option A). ---
