No. If it were, every chemistry stockroom in the world would be in real trouble as the hydrochloric acid began dissolving the glass bottles it's stored in.

No, SiO2 is in glass. Glass does not react with HCl... if it did, that would be bad.

Silicon doesn't react with most acids, but will dissolve in hydrofluoric acid, because of the formation of a stable complex ion.
