Consider the following balanced chemical equation: CS2(g) + 3O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2SO2(g) Determine the mass (in g) of SO2 formed if 466 g of CS2 reacts with 466 g of O2

Answer 1

CS₂(g) + 3O₂(g) ===> CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g) ... balanced equation

Using dimensional analysis and the stoichiometry of the balanced equation...

466 g CS₂ x 1 mol CS₂/76.14 g x 2 mol SO₂/mol CS₂ x 64.07 g/mol = 784 g SO₂ formed
