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!

how the various concentrations of acid will affect the amount of limestone that is dissolved from each jar.
schepotkina [342]

The explanation of the how the various concentrations of acid will affect the amount of limestone has been given below.

Effects of acid rain on limestone:-

  • When an acid combines with a carbonate, it produces carbon dioxide as a gas and forms a salt that is soluble in the carbonate and acid's water.
  • There are several gases in the atmosphere that can dissolve in precipitation such as rain and snow.
  • Some may produce acids in rain water, such as carbonic acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid.
  • Because the concentration is modest, the rain is not highly acidic, but it is acidic enough to react with the carbonates that make up limestone.

Thus we discussed the affects of acid rain on limestones above.
