Question

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

Answer 1

Mass of CO₂ produced : 58.67 g

Further explanation

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) :

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