If there are any chemists here I’d also like to know how much silane is produced.
In what form is the silicon, elemental? Is it in large chunks, or a fine powder?
Most likely, the answer is “absolutely nothing”.
Tell that to Flint Marko, a.k.a. Sandman.
I assume you’re trying to get the water to disassociate into H[sup]+[/sup] and O[sup]-2[/sup] and then react with a freed Si[sup]-4[/sup] to create SiH[sub]4[/sub].
You’d be better off putting the silicon into a hydrogen atmosphere and hoping to break a Si-Si bond. Otherwise the oxygen in your water bath reaction is going create SiO[sub]2[/sub] far more often than any SI-H reaction.
I don’t know but Fox and Disney are arguing over the film rights.
