90AE

Ultrapure germanium. l<e silicon, is used in semiconductors. Germanium of "ordinary’ purity is prepared by the high-temperature reduction of Ge02 with carbon. The Ge is converted to GeCI4 by treatment with Ct2 and then purified by distillation: GeCI4 is then hydrolyzed in water to Ge02 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 Ge02.
