1 answer:

7 0

The difference is the no. of charges present in Carbon, meaning Carbon has different charges therefore Roman numerals are used to clarify the exact number.This makes balancing equations easier.

Also their names are different.
CO4 - Carbon tetroxide
CO2 - Carbon dioxide

The energy of the carbide released is 7262.5MJ.

<h3>What is the energy?</h3>

We know that the reaction between calcium oxide and carbon occurs in accordance with the reaction; $CaO(s)+3C(s)----- > CaC_{2} (s)+CO(g)$ . The reaction is seen to produce 464.8kJ of energy per mole of carbide produced.
