Carbon disulfide is an important industrial solvent. It is prepared by the reaction of coke with sulfur dioxide.
5 C(s) + 2 SO2(g) CS2(l) + 4 CO(g)
(a) How many moles of CS2 form when 3.3 mol C reacts?
(b) How many moles of carbon are needed to react with 5.01 mol SO2?
(c) How many moles of carbon monoxide form at the same time that 0.221 mol CS2 forms?
(d) How many moles of SO2 are required to make 131 mol CS2?

Verified answer
a) the ratio between C and CS2 is 5 : 1
moles CS2 = 3.3 /5 = 0.66
b) the ratio between C and SO2 is 5 : 2
moles C = 5.01 x 5/2 = 12.5
c) the ratio between CS2 and CO is 1 : 4
moles CO = 4 x 0.221 = 0.884
d) the ratio between SO2 and CS2 is 2 : 1
moles SO2 = 131 x 2 = 262
a- .66mol cs2
b- 12.525mol c
c- .884mol co
d- 262mol so2
