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!

consider this reaction at equilibrium at a total pressure: 2h2o(g) o2(g) 2h2o2(g) suppose the volume of this system is twice its
Daniel [21]

The total pressure when the new equilibrium is stabilized is half of the initial pressure of the system.

The given chemical reaction at a stable equilibrium is,

2H₂O(g)+O₂(g) = 2H₂O₂(g)

According to the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P is pressure,

V is volume,

n is moles

R is gas constant,

T is temperature.

Assuming the temperature is constant.

If the volume of the system is twice the initial volume then the total pressure at the new equilibrium can be found out as,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where, P₁ and V₁ are initial volume and pressure while P₂ and V₂ are final pressure and volume.

If V₂ = 2V₁,

P₂ = P₁/2

So, the final total pressure will be half of the initial pressure.

1. A 225-L barrel of white wine has an initial free SO2 concentration of 22 ppm and a pH of 3.70. How much SO2 (in grams) should
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The appropriate answer is "9.225 g".

Explanation:

Given:

Required level,

= 63 ppm

Initial concentration,

= 22 ppm

Now,

The amount of free SO₂ will be:

= Required \ level -Initial \ concentration

= 63-22

= 41 \ ppm

The amount of free SO₂ to be added will be:

= 41\times 225

= 9225 \ mg

∵ 1000 mg = 1 g

So,

= 9225\times \frac{1}{1000}

= 9.225

Thus,

"9.225 g" should be added.
