How many moles of CS₂ will be needed to produce 4.8 mol CO₂, given the following chemical reaction: CS₂ + 3O₂ → CO₂ + 2SO₂? *

Respuesta :

Answer:The answer to your question is 30 moles of CO₂

Explanation:

                     CS₂   +   3O₂   ⇒   CO₂   +   2SO₂

We know that 3 moles of oxygen produce 1 mol of carbon dioxide, then use proportions to find the amount of CO₂ in the conditions given.

                    3 moles of O₂ ---------------  1 mol of CO₂

                   90 moles of O₂ -------------   x

                    x = ( 90 x 1) / 3

                    x = 90 / 3

                    x = 30 moles of CO₂
