Silicic acid could occur as solution as well as solids.
Silicic acid, a compound of silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen, regarded as the parent substance from which is derived a large family-the silicates-of minerals, salts, and esters. The acid itself, having the formula Si(OH)4, can be prepared only as an unstable solution in water; its molecules readily condense with one another to form water and polymeric chains, rings, sheets, or three-dimensional networks that constitute the structural units of silica gel and many minerals that have very low solubility in water.

What is the name of H2SiO3?
Silicic acid
What is the difference between aqueous solutions of acetic acid and nitric acid?
Nitric acid and acetic acid are different substances; the chemical properties and physical properties are also different (density of the solutions, corrosiveness, chemical reactions, dissociation, etc.).
Can you explain briefly why silicic acid H2SiO3 is a weak acid and perichlorate acid HClO4 is a strong acid?
Chlorine (Cl) is much more electronegative than silicon (Si). This means that chlorine exerts a much stronger "pull" on the electrons in a perchloric acid molecule than silicon does in a silicic acid molecule. The stronger pull makes it easier for a hydrogen ion (H+) to break away. The greater the degree of dissociation the stronger the acid. Perchloric acid dissociates completely in water, thus marking it as a strong acid. Silicic acid only dissociates partially, thus marking as a weak acid.
What happens to an acid or a base in a water solutions?
In water solutions an acid or a base is diluted depending on the amount of water. But when water is added with an acid or base it also undergoes a condition called chemical equilibrium. For more information on chemical equilibrium check some more wikianswers or look it up on google :L
What makes an acid an acid and a base an base?
Simply put, an acid donates protons ( H + ) to solutions and bases accept protons in solutions.
What is the chemical formula of silicic acid?
The chemical formula of silicon dioxide is SiO2.

Does rocks have acid?
No. Some igneous rocks were once referred to as "acidic" on the misconception that they contained elevated levels of silicic acid.
What do if tongue burned with chemical?
Ask a doctor, mentioning the chemical; generally: - for acid solutions: wash with a diluted basic solution - for basic solutions: wash with a diluted acidic solution
Bubbling is observed when potassium carbonate and hydrochloric acid solutions are mixed?
It's a chemical reaction.
What are examples of liquids?
water, soda, juiceoil, sulfuric acid, gasoline, silicic acid (water glass), hydrofluoric acid, bromine, mercury.

Chemical equations for reactionsof water with a acid?
Many acids doesn't react with water but they form solutions.
What is the chemical equation for the interaction of water and an acid?
Many acids doesn't react with water but form solutions.
What solid forms solutions during a chemical reactions?
For example calcium carbonate react with hydrochloric acid and form a solution.
