Question

How many moles of SO2 are required to produce 0.45 mole CS2?

Answer 1

Answer: The moles of carbon needed will be, 13.8 moles

Explanation: Moles of  = 5.52 mole

Now we have to calculate to moles of carbon.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of  react to give 5 moles of carbon

So, 5.52 mole of  react to give  moles of carbon

Therefore, the moles of carbon needed will be, 13.8 moles

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.9 moles of SO₂  

Explanation:

Data

moles of SO₂ = ?

moles of CS₂ = 0.45

Balanced chemical reaction

           2SO₂  +  CO₂  ⇒   CS₂  +  3O₂

Use proportions and cross multiplication to solve this problem

                    2 moles of SO₂ ------------------- 1 mol of CS₂

                     x moles of SO₂ ------------------- 0.45 moles of CS₂

                     x = (2 x 0.45) / 1

                   x = 0.9 moles of SO₂
