Many computer chips are manufactured from silicon, which occurs in nature as SiO2SiO2. When SiO2SiO2 is heated to melting, it reacts with solid carbon to form liquid silicon and carbon monoxide gas. In an industrial preparation of silicon, 155.0 kgkg of SiO2SiO2 is allowed to react with 77.3 kgkg of carbon to produce 66.0 kgkg of silicon.   Find the theoretical and percent yeild.
