Answer:
5SiO2 + 2CaC2 = 5Si + 2CaO + 4CO2
Step-by-step explanation:
balancing equations is a lot of trial and error. My strategy to approaching this equation was to get the O's balanced. After trying several combonations I found that I needed 10 O's on each side of the equation for the other elements to match up. After I balanced the O's, I balanced my C's to 4 on each side. Then I balanced my Ca's to have 2 on each side. And last but not least I balanced my Si to have 5 on each side.
