Answer:

The coefficients.

Explanation:

If you change the subscripts you are changing the chemical formulae.

Stochiometry .How many grams of CO2 is produced when excess CS2 reacts with 4 mols of O2? CS2+O2-SO2 Please balance equation.
Travka [436]

Mass of CO₂ produced : 58.67 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

CS₂ + 3O₂  -------> CO₂ + 2SO₂

mol of CO₂ based on mol of O₂ as a limiting reactant(CS₂ as an excess reactant)

From the equation, mol ratio of mol CO₂ : mol O₂ = 1 : 3, so mol CO₂  :

\tt \dfrac{1}{3}\times 4=\dfrac{4}{3}

mass  CO₂ (MW= 44 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{4}{3}\times 44=58.67~g

How many moles of neon atoms are there in a neon sign that has 2.4 * 20^ 24 atoms of neon? *
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

4 moles of neon

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of neon = ?

Number of atoms of neon = 2.4×10²⁴ atoms

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For given neon atoms:

1 mol =  6.022 × 10²³ atoms

2.4×10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.4×10¹ mol = 4 mol
