Carbon disulfide is prepared industrially by reacting carbon with sulfur dioxide according to the above equation. If 70.8 g of carbon react, how many moles of CS2 are produced? Show all work, include all units, and box your answer.

1.18 moles of CS₂ are produced by the reaction.

Explanation:

We present the reaction:

5C + 2SO₂  →  CS₂  +  4CO

5 moles of carbon react to 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to produce 1 mol of carbon disulfide and 4 moles of carbon monoxide.

As we do not have data from the SO₂, we assume this as the excess reagent. We convert the mass of carbon to moles:

70.8 g / 12 g/mol = 5.9 moles

Ratio is 5:1, so 5 moles of carbon react to produce 1 mol of CS₂

Then, 5.9 moles will produce (5.9 . 1) / 5 = 1.18 moles

neutrons are in the middle of the atom and the electrons, which are much smaller.

is it a purebred? it looks more like a red nose, but it doesn't have the red could it be a staffordshire bull terrior? unsure if that's the right name for it sorry
