Question

What is the co-efficient of $SiC$ when the equation $Si{O}_2$ $+$ $C$ $\to$ $SiC$ $+$ $CO$ is balanced and reduced to its lowest term?

• A. one
• B. two
• C. three
• D. four

Answer 1

The correct option is A one

The balanced equation can be written as $Si{O}_2$ $+$ $3C$ $=$ $SiC$ $+$ $2CO$
Thus the co-efficient of $SiC$ is $one$
