Answer:
26.74g
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is;
SIO₂ + 3C --> SiC +2CO
From the balanced equation, the relationship between SiC and C is;
3 mol of C produces 1 mol of SiC
Converting mol to mass using; Mass = moles * Molar mass
Mass of SiC = 1 mol * 40.11 g/mol = 40.11g
This means;
3 mol of C produces 40.11g of SiC
2 mol of C produces xg of SiC
3 = 40.11
2 = x
x = 2 * 40.11 / 3 = 26.74g
