Many computer chips are manufactured from silicon, which occurs in nature as SiO2. When SiO2 is heated to melting, it reacts wit

h solid carbon to form liquid silicon and carbon monoxide gas. In an industrial preparation of silicon, 155.0 kg of SiO2 is allowed to react with 79.0 kg of carbon to produce 66.2 kg of silicon.

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%

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect will decreasing the temperature have on the system? DH=+890kJCO2(g)+
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Option B. The reaction will shift to the left in the direction of the reactants.

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

CO₂ + 2H₂O <=> CH₄ + O₂

Enthalpy change (ΔH) = +890 KJ

The reaction illustrated by the equation is endothermic reaction since the enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive.

Increasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium position to the right and decrease the temperature will shift the equilibrium position to the left.

Therefore, decreasing the temperature of the system illustrated by the equation above, will shift the reaction to the left in the direction of the reactants.

Thus, option B gives the right answer to the question.
