Answered by rajupati

SiO2+Cac2=>Si+CaO+CO2
or, 5SiO2+2Cac2=> 5Si+2CaO+4CO2

Answered by AadilPradhan

5SiO2 + 2CaC2 = 5Si + 2CaO + 4CO2

CaC2 is calcium carbide.If we allow to react calcium carbide with water then we get acetylene.acetylene is very important initial compound to prepare very important organic compound. SiO2 is silicon dioxide. It is carcinogenic. Here we also get silicon. CaO is calcium oxide.Fused calcium oxide is a dehydratng agent.In this reaction gaseous carbon dioxide is evolved.
