Answer:

5 moles

Explanation:

The equation provided in the question is wrong and this is the complete equation before balancing

SiO2(s) + C(s) → Si(s) + CO (g)

The solid on the product side is silicon (Si) and not silicon carbide (SiC). A balanced equation must have the same number of each atoms on the reactant side been equal to there number on the product side. From the above, we can see that the silicon atom (Si) on the reactant side is equal to the silicon atom on the product side, the oxygen atoms (O) on the reactant side is equal to the oxygen atoms on the product side and the carbon atom (C) on the reactant side is not equal to the carbon atoms on the product side. The balanced equation is below

SiO2(s) + 2C(s) → Si(s) + 2CO (g)

From the above balanced equation, 2 moles of carbon will produces 1 mole of silicon (Si), hence 2.5 moles of Si will be produced by

2 moles of C → 1 mole of Si

X moles of C → 2.5 moles of Si where X is the unknown

X = \frac{2 * 2.5}{1}

X = 5 moles

5 moles of C will produce 2.5 moles of Si

Hello!

Here from the unbalanced reaction we can balance it by comparing the reactants and products(Left hand side versus Right hand side). We can see one carbon and two oxygen on the left hand side, but then we have two carbon and only 1 oxygen on the rhs. This goes against matter or energy can be neither created or destroyed so we have to balance it first to compare mole to mole relationships. So we can simply right in the the missing elements and balance like this:

SiO2(s) + 2C(s) —-> SiC(s) + C02(g)

Now from the balanced reaction we can see it takes 2 moles of Carbon to make only 1 mole of SiC. So if we are given the amount of moles Of SiC produced, then we can see from the 2:1 Ratio of Carbon:SiC that we need double the amount of Carbon to produce 1mole of SiC(s) since the Carbon used is making SiC(s) and CO2(g). Therefore we would need 5moles of Carbon to start with, in order to make 2.5mole of SiC and CO2 from the reaction given above.

Hope this helps. Any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you kindly!

Can you catch coronavirus from F.A.R.Ts?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Droplets or aerosols. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, droplets or tiny particles called aerosols carry the virus into the air from their nose or mouth. Anyone who is within 6 feet of that person can breathe it into their lungs.

Airborne transmission. Research shows that the virus can live in the air for up to 3 hours. It can get into your lungs if someone who has it breathes out and you breathe that air in.

Surface transmission. Another way to catch the new coronavirus is when you touch surfaces that someone who has the virus has coughed or sneezed on. You may touch a countertop or doorknob that's contaminated and then touch your nose, mouth, or eyes. The virus can live on surfaces like plastic and stainless steel for 2 to 3 days. To stop it, clean and disinfect all counters, knobs, and other surfaces you and your family touch several times a day.

Fecal-oral. Studies also suggest that virus particles can be found in infected people's poop. But experts aren't sure whether the infection can spread through contact with an infected person's stool. If that person uses the bathroom and doesn't wash their hands, they could infect things and people that they touch.

Which compound most likely contains polar covalent bonds?
marin [14]
I would say water; water is extremely polar, and this is why it can break one of the strongest bonds, ionic bonds. NaCl, as you probably know, is a salt, and dissolves in water. However, the ionic bond holding the Na+ and the Cl- is extremely strong; the boiling point of NaCl is at 1413 degrees celcius (water is at 100 degrees celcius). This means that it requires A LOT of energy to break the bond, but water is able to dissolve and break the bond very easily. It is very polar, so I would answer your question with water. And the bond connecting the H and the O is a covalent bond.

Gaseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 7.9 g of methane is
Vikki [24]

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

     CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O

As it is known that number of moles equal mass divided by molar mass. Molar mass of methane is 16 g/mol.

Hence,   No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

                                   = \frac{7.9 g}{16 g/mol}

                                   = 0.493 mol

Molar mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol.

Hence, its number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

                                            = \frac{14.4 g}{32 g/mol}

                                            = 0.45 mol

As, it is shown from the reaction that 1 mole of methane needs 2 mole of oxygen.

Therefore, 0.493 mol of methane needs 2 \times 0.45 mol equals 0.9 moles of oxygen.

As there is only 0.45 moles of oxygen for the reaction. So, it means that oxygen is the limiting reagent.

Hence, for 0.45 moles of oxygen, methane required is as follows.

                        \frac{0.45}{2} = 0.225 moles

So, 0.225 moles of methane is equal to 0.225 \times 16 = 3.6 g

As, 3.6 g of methane reacts with oxygen. Therefore, amount of methane remains is calculated as follows.

                   (7.9 g - 3.6 g) = 4.3 g

 Thus, we can conclude that the minimum mass of methane that could be left over by the chemical reaction is 4.3 g.
