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!

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
