Answer:
58.9g of SO2 is produced
8g of oxygen remains unconsumed
Explanation:
The burning of Carbon disulfide (CS2) in oxygen. gives the reaction:
CS2 (g) + 3O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2SO2 (g)
Molar mass of CS2 = 76.139 g/mol
Molar mass of O2 = 15.99 g/mol
Molar mass of SO2 = 64.066 g/mol
Number of moles of CS2 = 35g/ 76.139 g/mol =0.46 moles
Number of moles of O2 = 30g/15.999 g/mol =1.88 moles
From the chemical reaction
1 mole of CS2 react with 3 moles of O2 to give 2 moles of SO2
Thus 0.46 moles of CS2 reacts to form 2× 0.46 = 0.92 moles of SO2
Mass of SO2 produced = 0.92×64.07 = 58.9g of SO2 is produced
thus 0.46 moles of CS2 reacts with 3 × 0.46 moles of O2 which is =1.38 moles of O2
Thus oxygen is the limiting reactant with 1.88 - 1.38 = 0.496~~0.5 mole remaining
Or 8g of oxygen
58.9g of SO2 is produced
oxygen is the limiting
