Carbon disulfide burns with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the following manner: CS2 + 3O2 → CO2 + 2SO2 If
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Given:
<span>CS2 + 3O2 → CO2 + 2SO2
</span><span>114 grams of CS2 are burned in an excess of O2
</span>
moles CS2 = 114 g/76.143 g/mol → 114g * mol/76.143 g =  1.497 mol

<span>the ratio between CS2 and SO2 is 1 : 2 </span>

moles SO2 formed = 1.497 x 2 = 2.994 moles   → 2nd option
