Silica (SiO2) is an impurity that must be removed from ametal oxide or sulfide ore when the ore is being reduced toelemental metal. To do this, lime (CaO) is added. It reactswith the silica to form a slag of calcium silicate (CaSiO3),which can be separated and removed from the ore.(a) Write the balanced equation for this process.(b) Can this be considered a Lewis acid–base reaction? Ifso, what is the Lewis acid and what is the Lewis base?
