determine the value of x for the following reaction: 4C + S8-> 4CS2
3.2 mol S8 yield x mol CS2
4C + S8-> 4CS2
so each mole of S8 yields 4 moles of CS2
so two moles of S8 yields 8 moles of CS2
so three moles of S8 yields 12 moles of CS2
so 3.2 moles of S8 yields 4x3.2 moles of CS2
To determine the value of x, we can use the mole ratio between S8 and CS2 from the balanced chemical equation.
From the balanced equation: 4C + S8 -> 4CS2
The mole ratio between S8 and CS2 is 1:4, which means that for every 1 mole of S8, we get 4 moles of CS2.
Given that 3.2 mol of S8 is yielded, we can set up a proportion using the mole ratio:
(3.2 mol S8 / 1) = (x mol CS2 / 4)
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
3.2 mol S8 * 4 = 1 * x mol CS2
12.8 = x mol CS2
Therefore, the value of x is 12.8 mol CS2.
To determine the value of x, we need to use the given information about the molar ratios in the balanced chemical equation.
The balanced equation shows that 4 moles of carbon (C) react with 1 mole of sulfur (S8) to form 4 moles of carbon disulfide (CS2). The molar ratio between S8 and CS2 is 1:4.
Given that 3.2 moles of S8 are provided, we can use the molar ratio to calculate the moles of CS2 produced.
First, we need to convert the moles of S8 to moles of CS2. Since the molar ratio is 1:4, we multiply the moles of S8 by the conversion factor (4 moles CS2 / 1 mole S8):
3.2 mol S8 * (4 mol CS2 / 1 mol S8) = 12.8 mol CS2
Therefore, when 3.2 moles of S8 are reacted, it yields 12.8 moles of CS2. Thus, the value of x is 12.8.
