2. The element silicon can be produced from sand (SiO2) and silicon carbide (SiC – also called carborundum) at high temperature according to the equation. Molar Mass: SiO2 - 60.1 g; Si - 28.09 g; SiC - 40.11 g; CO -28.01 g
2 SiC(s) + SiO2 (s) → 3 Si (s) + 2CO (g)
Suppose you want to produce 75.0 g of silicon.
a, What mass (g) of silicon dioxide and silicon carbide are needed to react.
b. What mass (g) of carbon monoxide is formed in the reaction?
