Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

a. The number of moles of C needed is 1.25mole.

b. The number of moles of CO produced is 0.96 mole.

c. The number of moles of SO2 needed is 1mole.

d. The number of moles of CS2 produced is 0.5mole.

1Part(a) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find the moles of C which is needed to react with 0.500mole of SO2.

2Part (a) Step 2: Calculation

Using mole factor

mole fctor=5moleC2moleSO2

5mole C=2 mole SO2

according to question

0.5moleSO2×5moleC2moleSO2=1.25 mole C

3Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find the number of moles of CO that are produced when 1.2 moles of C reacts.

4Part (b) Step 2: Calculation

Using mole factor

mole factor=4moleCO5moleC

according to question

5moleC=4moleCO1.2moleC×4mole CO5mole C=0.96 mole CO

5Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

We need the find the number of moles of SO2 that needed to produce 0.50 mole of CS2.

6Part (c) Step 2: Calculation

Using the mole factor

mole factor=2mole SO21mole CS2

according to question

2 mole SO2=1 mole CS20.5mole CS2×2mole SO21mole CS21 mole SO2

7Part (d) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find the number of moles CS2 that are produced when 2.5 moles of C reacts.

8Part (d) Step 2: Calculation

Using the mole factor

mole factor=1mole CS25mole C

according to question

5 mole C=1 mole CS22.5moleC×1mole CS25mole C=0.5 mole CS2
