30 POINTS!! In the reaction of 1 mole of solid carbon with oxygen gas, the energy of the carbon dioxide gas produced is 393
kJ lower than the energy of the reactants.
1. Write out a balanced equation for the reaction - include the heat of the reaction
2. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic, explain why.
3. Assuming there is an endless supply of C, how would increasing the amount of O2 molecules change the
rate of the reaction?
4. How would lowering the temperature affect the rate of reaction?
