Question
Silicon carbide or carborundum is a widely used ceramic material in car brakes and bullet-proof vests because of its hardness. Carborundum is found naturally in the mineral moissanite, but the demand for it exceeds the supply. For this reason it is generally synthesized in the laboratory. The reaction is:
SiO2 + 3 C→SiC + 2 CO
How many kg of silicon carbide can be formed by the reaction of 250.0 kg of sand (SiO2) with excess carbon?
