Carbon disulfide is an important industrial solvent. It is prepared by the reaction of carbon (called coke) with sulfur dioxide.

Carbon monoxide is also produced (as a byproduct) of this reaction. (a) Write the equation that correctly demonstrates this reaction and balance it. (b) How many moles of carbon are needed to produce 45.90 moles of carbon disulfide?

Answer:

A. The balanced equation is given below:

5C + 2SO2 —> CS2 + 4CO

B. 229.5 moles of carbon.

Explanation:

A. Step 1:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

C + SO2 —> CS2 + CO

A. Step 2:

Balancing the equation.

The above equation can be balanced as follow:

There are 2 atoms of S on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of SO2 as shown below:

C + 2SO2 —> CS2 + CO

There are 4 atoms of O on the left side and 1 on the right. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of CO as shown below:

C + 2SO2 —> CS2 + 4CO

There are a total of 5 atoms of C on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of C as shown below:

5C + 2SO2 —> CS2 + 4CO

Now the equation is balanced

B. Determination of the number of moles of carbon needed to produce 45.90 moles of carbon disulfide.

This is illustrated below:

5C + 2SO2 —> CS2 + 4CO

From the balanced equation above,

5 moles of C produced 1 mole of CS2.

Therefore, Xmol of C will produce 45.90 moles of CS2 i.e

Xmol of C = 5 x 45.90

Xmol of C = 229.5 moles

229.5 moles of carbon is needed to produce 45.90 moles of carbon disulfide.

If the half-life of hydrogen-3 is 11.8 years, after two half-lives the radioactivity of a sample will be reduced to one-half of
maw [93]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Half life is the time period at which the concentration of the radioactive substance in decay reduced to half.

<u>Thus, if the hydrogen-3 has gone 2 half lives, it means that it has first reduced to its half and then again the half of what it was, i.e. 1/4</u>

Thus, after two successive half-lives, the concentration must be 1/4 of the initial concentration and hence, the statement is false.

False, the radiation from food and medical procedures have very little consequences. The radiation from a nuclear power plant can kill people which makes it a very large problem if not contained properly.

A base of pH 14 is not a strong base, it would be a highly concentrated base. A strong base is a base that completely deionizes in water.

But technically, for the purpose of your answer strong base = pH 14

Consider the balanced equation for the following reaction:
Bad White [126]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Actual moles of lithium chlorate = 9.45 moles

Molar mass of lithium chlorate = 90.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

9.45mol=\frac{\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}}{90.4g/mol}\\\\\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}=(9.45mol\times 90.4g/mol)=854.28g

To calculate the theoretical yield of lithium chlorate, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Actual yield of lithium chlorate = 854.28 g

Percentage yield of lithium chlorate = 81.0 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

81=\frac{854.28g}{\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}}\times 100\\\\\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}=\frac{854.28\times 100}{81}=1054.67g

Hence, the theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams
