<span>If the mass is definite and the density is definite, </span>
<span>then your volume is definite.</span>
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:
<span>4C(s) + S8(s) → 4CS2(l)
We are given the amount of carbon and sulfur to be used in the reaction. We need to determine first the limiting reactant to be able to solve this correctly.
</span>7.70 g C ( 1 mol / 12.01 g) =0.64 mol C
19.7 g S8 ( 1 mol / 256.48 g) = 0.08 mol S8
The limiting reactant would be S8. We use this amount to calculate.
0.08 mol S8 ( 4 mol CS2 / 1 mol S8 ) ( 256.48 g / 1 mol ) = 78.8 g CS2
B.) Valence Electrons. The nucleus of the valence electrons attracts and pulls atoms together.
