Question

According to the following reaction, how many moles of chlorine gas are necessary to form 0.739 moles carbon tetrachloride? carbon disulfide (s) + chlorine (g) carbon tetrachloride (l) + sulfur dichloride (s)

Answer 1

Answer:

2.956 moles chlorine gas will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Number of moles carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) = 0.739 moles

carbon disulfide (s) = CS2(s)

chlorine (g) = Cl2(g)

carbon tetrachloride (l) = CCl4(l)

sulfur dichloride (s) = SCl2 (s)

Step 2: The balanced equation

CS2(s) + 4Cl2(g) → CCl4(l) +2SCl2

Step 3: Calculate moles chlorine gas

For 1 moles Cs2 we need 4 moles Cl2 to produce 1 mol CCl4 and 2 moles SCl2

For 0.739 moles CCl4 we need 4*0.739 = 2.956 moles Cl2

2.956 moles of chlorine gas will be produced
