Solid silicon and solid magnesium chloride form when silicon tetrachloride gas reacts with magnesium metal. Write a word equa- tion and an unbalanced formula equation. Include all of the appropriate notations.

Verified Answer :

SiCl4 + 2Mg ---> 2Si + 2MgCl2

The unbalanced equation is: \(\mathbf{SiCl_{4(g)} + Mg_{(s)} \to Si_{(s)} + MgCl_2{(s)}}\)

The balanced equation for  is: \(\mathbf{SiCl_{4(g)} + 2Mg_{(s)} \to Si_{(s)} + 2MgCl_2{(s)}}\)

We are being told that the reaction occurs between Silicon tetrachloride gas and Magnesium metal.

This can be expressed as \(\mathbf{SiCl_{4(g)} + Mg_{(s)} }}\)

The reaction between these reactants gives the product of Solid silicon and solid magnesium chloride \(\mathbf{ Si_{(s)} + MgCl_2{(s)}}\)

The unbalanced state of the equation where the moles of the reactant is not equal to the moles of the product is:

\(\mathbf{SiCl_{4(g)} + Mg_{(s)} \to Si_{(s)} + MgCl_2{(s)}}\)

The balanced state of the equation where the number of moles of the reactant is equal to the moles of the product is:

\(\mathbf{SiCl_{4(g)} + 2Mg_{(s)} \to Si_{(s)} + 2MgCl_2{(s)}}\)
