The industrial solvent carbon disulfide (CS2) is produced when coke (C) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) react. If 8.00 g of SO2 reacts, how many moles of CS2 are formed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.0624 mol

Explanation:

Trust me i know :)

The statement, that describes moles of CS2 are formed in the reaction is "0.0624 mol."

What is reaction?

In a chemical reaction, one or several substances also referred to as reactants are changed into one or several additional compounds are recognized as products.

What is  a mole?

A mole is the proportion of chemical substance which comprises the number of entities such as atoms, molecules, ions etc. In order to determine the moles, divide the given mass of the substance value by its molar mass to convert grams into moles.

Gram to mole conversion factor,

[tex]= Grams\;*\;\frac{1\;mol}{gram}= 8.00\;g\;*\;\frac{1\;mol}{64.066 g}\\= 0.1248\;mol[/tex]

The balanced chemical equation comes out to be, 5C + 2SO → CS₂ + 4CO

Using the above equation, moles of carbon disulfide is calculated as follows,

[tex]= 0.1248\;mol\;of\;SO2\;*\;\frac{1\;mol\;CS2}{2\;mol\;SO2} \\\\= 0.0624\;mol\;CS2[/tex]

Hence the correct answer is 0.0624 mol.
