Many computer chips are manufactured from silicon, which occurs in nature as SiO2. When SiO2 is heated to melting, it reacts with solid carbon to form liquid silicon and carbon monoxide gas. In an industrial preparation of silicon, 155.8 kg of SiO2 reacts with 78.3 kg of carbon to produce 66.1 kg of silicon. Determine the percent yield for the reaction.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Molarity
Molarity is a measure of concentration defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. It is expressed in units of moles per liter (mol/L). To calculate molarity, you divide the amount of solute (in moles) by the volume of the solution (in liters). This concept is essential for understanding how concentrated a solution is and is commonly used in chemistry for preparing solutions.

Moles and Molar Mass
A mole is a unit in chemistry that represents 6.022 x 10²³ entities, such as atoms or molecules. The molar mass of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol), is the mass of one mole of that substance. To convert grams to moles, you divide the mass of the substance by its molar mass. This conversion is crucial for calculating molarity when the solute is given in grams.

Volume Conversion
Volume is often measured in liters (L) in chemistry, but it can also be expressed in milliliters (mL). To convert milliliters to liters, you divide the volume in milliliters by 1000. Accurate volume measurement is important for calculating molarity, as the concentration depends on the total volume of the solution. Understanding these conversions ensures that calculations are performed correctly.
