Answer:
89.6 L.
Explanation:
- For the balanced reaction:
CS₂ + 3O₂ → CO₂ + 2SO₂.
- It is clear that 1.0 mole of CS₂ with 3.0 moles of O₂ to produce 1.0 mole of CO₂ and 2.0 moles of SO₂.
Using cross multiplication:
1.0 mole of CS₂ produces → 2.0 moles of SO₂.
2.0 mole of CS₂ produces → ??? moles of SO₂.
∴ The no. of moles of SO₂ produced = (2.0 mol)(2.0 mol)/(1.0 mol) = 4.0 mol.
- It is known that 1.0 mole of any gas at STP occupies 22.4 L.
∴ 4.0 moles of SO₂ occupy = (4.0)(22.4 L) = 89.6 L.
