fluosilicic acid [¦flü·ə·sə′lis·ik ′as·əd]

(inorganic chemistry)

H₂SiF₆A colorless acid, soluble in water, which attacks glass and stoneware; highly corrosive and toxic; used in water fluoridation and electroplating. Also known as hydrofluorosilicic acid; hydrofluosilicic acid.

Fluosilicic Acid

H₂SiF₆, a strong inorganic acid. It can exist only in an aqueous solution; in the free state it decomposes into silicon tetrafluoride, SiF₄, and hydrogen fluoride, HF. Fluosilicic acid is a powerful disinfectant, but it is primarily used in the preparation of its salts (fluosilicates).
