Carbon disulfide is prepared industrially by reacting carbon with sulfur dioxide according to the above equation. if 5.9 moles of carbon react, how many moles of cs2 are produced?

             1.18 mol of CS₂

Solution:
The reaction is as follow,  

                            5 C + 2 SO₂     →    CS₂  +  4 CO

According to equation,,

             5 moles of Carbon on reaction produced  =  1 mole of CS₂
So,
                         5.9 moles of Carbon will produce  =  X g of CS₂

Solving for X,
                      X  =  (1 mol × 5.9 mol) ÷ 5 mol

                      X  =  1.18 mol of CS₂

Answer : The number of moles of carbon sulfide produced are, 1.18 moles.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of carbon = 5.9 moles

The balanced chemical reaction is:

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 5 moles of carbon react to give 1 mole of carbon sulfide

So, 5.9 moles of carbon react to give mole of carbon sulfide

Thus, the number of moles of carbon sulfide produced are, 1.18 moles.
