Silicon carbide (sic) is an important ceramic material that is made by allowing sand (silicon dioxide, sio2) to react with powdered carbon at high temperature. When 10 kg of sand (sio2) is used in the reaction, what is the amount (in grams) of co being produced? sio2(s) + c(s) --> sic(s) + co(g) (unbalanced) aw si = 28. 1 g/mol; aw c = 12 g/mol; aw o = 16 g/mol.
