CS2+3CO2=2SO2+CO2.HOW MANY OF SULFUR DIOXIDE CAN BE OBTAINED FROM 3.50 MOLES OF CARBON DISULFIDE?
To find out how many moles of sulfur dioxide can be obtained from 3.50 moles of carbon disulfide (CS2), we need to determine the stoichiometric ratio between carbon disulfide (CS2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the given equation.
The balanced equation is:
CS2 + 3CO2 -> 2SO2 + CO2
From the equation, we can see that for every 1 mole of CS2, we produce 2 moles of SO2.
Therefore, we can set up a proportion using the stoichiometric ratio:
(3.50 moles CS2) / (1 mole CS2) = (x moles SO2) / (2 moles SO2)
To solve for x (the number of moles of SO2), we can cross multiply and divide:
3.50 moles CS2 * 2 moles SO2 = x moles SO2 * 1 mole CS2
7.00 moles SO2 = x moles SO2
So, 3.50 moles of carbon disulfide can produce 7.00 moles of sulfur dioxide.
