![**Chemical Equation Balancing Exercise**
*Question 15 of 40:*
**Objective:** Balance the following chemical equation, if necessary.
**Equation:**
\[ \text{SiCl}_4(s) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \rightarrow \text{H}_4\text{SiO}_4(aq) + \text{HCl}(aq) \]
**Instructions:**
- Use the provided numeric keypad to adjust the coefficients of each compound in the chemical equation.
- Ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both the reactant and product sides.
**Tools:**
- A numeric keypad is available for input. It includes numbers 0-9, arithmetic symbols, parentheses, and state symbols for solid (s), liquid (l), gas (g), and aqueous (aq).
- A "Reset" button allows you to clear all inputs and start over.
- Navigation buttons permit you to move between different parts of the equation.
**Note:**
Balancing chemical equations is essential for understanding reactions' stoichiometry and ensuring the law of conservation of mass is satisfied.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe60afec2-8270-463c-8466-04e9f64c353b%2F7f1bf562-b2bb-4fbd-a68f-861cfa645455%2Fq91kjki_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
