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?

points plz

Explanation:

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
