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.

Calculate the mass of NaCl needed to make 40% solution from 3kg of water ? Could you explain step by step please :-)
earnstyle [38]
Ok so 40 percent of 3000 grams which is 3 kg is 1200 grams 
So you would need 1.2kg or 1200 grams to make a 40% solution

The diagram below shows the atoms involved in forming table salt. Which statement best describes what happens next ?
Ghella [55]

An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.

In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.

Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻

Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium

When the molecules of a gas hit each other do they normally stick or bounce off
Dahasolnce [82]
Since the molecules of a gas are constantly in motion, moving and hitting other gas molecules in all directions of the enclosed container, the molecules transfer a portion of energy through the interaction of other gas particles as they hit, but then bounce off.
