Charcoal is almost 100% carbon. If a 20g of charcoal is burned in air with plenty of oxygen, predict what will happen to the mass of charcoal after burning.

The correct answer is weight.

It could possibly be beneficial if the experiment is successful.

2poclâ‚(g) ⇜ 2 pclâ‚(g) + oâ‚‚(g) â†gâ° = (2 mol)î”gfâ°(pclâ‚) – (2 mol)î”gfâ°(poclâ‚) = (2 mol)(–270 –(–502) kj/mol) â†gâ° = + 464 kj = â†hⰠ– tî”sâ° î”sâ° = 179 j/k ⇒ â†hâ° = â†gâ° + (298 k)(179 j/k) = –411 kj assuming that î”hâ° and î”sâ° do not depend on temperature, the temperature at which â†gâ° = 0 is where t = â†hâ°/î”sâ° = (–411 kj)/(0.179 j/k) = 2294 k. at that temp. keq = 1 for the reaction.
