SiO2 is the only possible choice because the other formulas contain metals. how do we know this? because the other formulas contain elements located on the left of the “staircase” on the periodic table that separates metals from non-metals.

<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[RxN - Balanced] 2C + O₂ → 2CO₂
[Given] 0.25 moles O₂
[Solve] moles CO₂
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[RxN] 1 mol O₂ → 2 mol CO₂
<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>
- [DA] Set up:

- [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:

We will assume helium to behave as an ideal gas and apply the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
For pressure measured in atmospheres and volume measured in liters, the value of the molar gas constant is 0.082. Therefore:
T = PV / nR
T = (2.57 x 15.5) / (1.2 x 0.082)
T = 404.8 Kelvin
