Question

Carbon disulfide is formed by the reaction of coke (carbon) with sulfur dioxide. how many moles of cs2 will be generated if 8.0 moles of coke react with a surplus of sulfur dioxide

Answer 1

The equation that produces carbon disulfide from the reaction of coke and sufur dioxide is expressed in the balanced equation: c+ 2sO2 = CS2 + 2O2. For every mole of coke reacted, there is one mole of carbon disulfide produced. Hence the answer here is 8 moles of CS2
