Stoichiomety:
1 moles of C + 1 mol of O2 = 1 mol of CO2
multiply each # of moles times the atomic molar mass of the compund to find the relation is weights
Atomic or molar weights:
C: 12 g/mol
O2: 2 * 16 g/mol = 32 g/mol
CO2 = 12 g/mol + 2* 16 g/mol = 44 g/mol
Stoichiometry:
12 g of C react with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2
Then 18 g of C will react with: 18 * 32/ 12 g of Oxygen = 48 g of Oxygen
And the result will be 12 g of C + 48 g of O2 = 60 g of CO2.
You cannot obtain 72 g of CO2 from 18 g of C.
May be they just pretended that you use the law of consrvation of mass and say that you need 72 g - 18g = 54 g. But it violates the proportion of C and O2 in the CO2 and is not possible.
The correct answer is C) Raising the temperature increases reaction rate by increasing the energy of the reacting atoms/ions/molecules and increases the number of collisions.
Temperature will raise and water will evaporate
The kinetic energy of the products is equal to the energy liberated which is 92.2 keV. But let's convert the unit keV to Joules. keV is kiloelectro volt. The conversion that we need is: 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ <span>joule = 1 eV
Kinetic energy = 92.2 keV*(1,000 eV/1 keV)*(</span>1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joule/1 eV) = 5.76×10²³ Joules
From kinetic energy, we can calculate the velocity of each He atom:
KE = 1/2*mv²
5.76×10²³ Joules = 1/2*(4)(v²)
v = 5.367×10¹¹ m/s
