Pure silicon, which is needed in the manufacturing of electronic components, may be prepared by heating silicon dioxide (sand) with carbon at high temperatures, releasing carbon monoxide gas. Choose the unbalanced chemical equation for this process. SiO₂ (s) + C(s) → Si(s) + CO(g) SiO2 (s) + CO(s) → Si(s) + CO₂(g) SiO2 (s) + CO2 (s) → Si(s) + CO(g) + O₂(g) SiO2 (s) + C(s) + O₂(g) → SiO₂ (s) + CO(g)
