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?

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.

what are the two models

explanation:

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
