Abstract

Thermodynamic properties of silicon species in aqueous solution are collected. The chemical and electrochemical equilibria between various forms of Si (IV) are considered. The basic chemical and electrochemical equilibria for silicon are calculated. The potential – pH diagram for Si – H2O system is revised.
