The keg for the reaction
2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g) is
Keg = [SO3]^2/ {(SO2)^2 ( O2)}
Keg (equilibrium constant) is the ratio of of equilibrium concentration of the product raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficient to the equilibrium concentration of the reactant raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficient.
There’s no element with symbol M
We are provided with the amount of energy released when one mole of carbon reacts. We mus first convert the given mass of carbon to moles and then compute the energy released for the given amount.
Moles = mass / atomic mass
Moles = 23.5 / 12
Moles = 1.96 moles
One mole releases 394 kJ/mol
1.96 moles will release:
394*1.96
= 772.24
The enthalpy change of the reaction will be -772.24 kJ
