is not correct. You have omitted a very important conversion factor...moles of
silicon dioxide to moles of carbon. If you look closely at your conversion
factors you will notice that you have moles of silicon dioxide in the numerator
canceled out by moles of carbon in the denominator. This is how you solved the
problem...
75.2 g SiO2 x mol SiO2/60 g SiO2 x 12.01 g C/ mol C =
