Answer:
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Silicon has 14 electrons
Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.
It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon
A. four atoms of calcium.
Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.
B. one atom of chlorine.
1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>
Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.
Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).
D. three atoms of hydrogen.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.
Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.
Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)

Answer:
A) SiO2 is the limiting reactant
B) Theoretical yield= 72333.3g
C) % yield =91.5%
Explanation:
SiO2(s) + 2C(s) --------------> Si(s) + 2CO(g)
n(SiO2)= 155000/60 = 2583.33 mols
n(C)= 79000/12= 3291.66 mols
a)SiO2 is the limiting reactant
According to the balanced reaction equation,
60g of SiO2 produced 28g of SiO2
155000g of SiO2 will produce 155000×28/60= 72333.3g
Therefore theoretical yield of Si= 72333.3g
% yield= 66200/72333.3×100/1 =91.5%
