- Because carbon and silicon are both elements in group 14 on the periodic table, we expect them to react with other elements in similar ways. To some extent, they do, but in some cases, carbon and silicon compounds that seem to have analogous structures have very different chemical characteristics. For example, carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, is very stable in the presence of water, but silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4, reacts quickly with water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is SiCl4 + H2O → Si(OH)4 + HCl Balance this equation. Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of SiCl4 and moles of H2O. How many moles of SiCl4 react with 24 moles of water? Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of Si(OH)4 and moles of water.
