How many moles of HF will react completely with 12.5 mol of SiO2?

The balanced equation for the reaction between HF and SiO2 is: 6 HF + SiO2 -> H2SiF6 + 2 H2O. Therefore, each mole of SiO2 reacts with 6 moles of HF. So, 12.5 mol of SiO2 will react with 12.5 mol x 6 = 75 mol of HF.

How do you determine the number of silicon atoms in 4SiO2?

4SiO2 means SiO2 + SiO2 + SiO2 + SiO2 The '4 'tells you that there are four seprate molecules of SiO2 So there will be 4 silicon atoms in 4SiO2 SiO2 also contains 2 oxygen atoms. So overall there will be 4 x 2 = 8 oxygen atoms. SiO2 is silicon dioxide ; sand that you find on a beach. It does form large crystal lattice by a loose combination through the oxygen atoms.

What is silicon dioxide's molecular geometry?

The hybridization of Si in SiO2 is sp3.Si : [Ne]3s23p2SiO2 forms a covalent network in which the Si atoms form 4 single bonds to oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms form 2 single bonds (and have two lone pairs) to Si atoms.Si is in the same group as C but because it contains the d orbitals (empty but there), Si is two large to form pi bonds.
