Metasilicic acid, also known as monosilicic acid or silicic acid (chemical formula: H4SiO4), is a weak acid that results from the dissolution of silica (SiO2) in water. It is a form of silicic acid in which there is a single silicon atom surrounded by four hydroxyl (OH) groups. Metasilicic acid is significant in various natural and industrial processes, particularly in the fields of geology, agriculture, and water treatment.
