The ge is converted to gecl4 by treatment with cl2 and then


Ultrapure germanium, like silicon, is used in semiconductors. Germanium of "ordinary" purity is prepared by the hightemperature reduction of GeO2 with carbon. The Ge is converted to GeCl4 by treatment with Cl2 and then purified by distillation; GeCl4 is then hydrolyzed in water to GeO2 and reduced to the elemental form with H2. The element is then zone refined. Write a balanced chemical equation for each of the chemical transformations in the course of forming ultrapure Ge from GeO2.
