(d) When reacted with a small quantity of water, SiCl 4 produces an oxychloride X, SixClyOz.
The mass spectrum of X shows peaks at mass numbers of 133, 149, 247, 263 and 396.
(You should assume that the species responsible for all these peaks contain the 16O,the 35Cl and the 28Si isotopes only.)
(i) Use these data to deduce the molecular formula of X.
