Question

How many liters of carbon dioxide can be produced if 37.8 grams of carbon disulfide react with excess oxygen gas at 28.85 degrees Celsius and 1.02 atmospheres? CS2(l) + 3O2(g) yields CO2(g) + 2SO2(g) 2.78 liters 5.95 liters 11.9 liters 12.2 liters

Answer 1

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.
