Answer:

=14.8 grams

Explanation:

The remaining amount is normally calculated using the formula:

Remaining mass= 1/2ⁿ × Original mass where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore, original mass= Remaining mass × 2ⁿ

Remaining mass= 2.2 grams

Number of half lives= 2.75 half lives

Original mass= 2.2g × 2²·⁷⁵

=14.8 grams

How many liters of carbon dioxide can be produced if 37.8 grams of carbon disulfide react with excess oxygen gas at 28.85 degree
alekssr [168]
37.8 grams of CS2 equals to 37.8/76=0.5 mole. So the products have 0.5 mole CO2 which is 11.2 liters at STP. So according to the gas law, the volume at given condition is 12.4 liters. So the answer should be 12.2 liters.
