4 g of carbon was heated with 8 grams of Sulphur. How much CS2 was formed when the reaction is completed. Find out the amount of reactant left unreacted. |

Answer» \(4C + S_8 \rightarrow 4CS_2\) \(\therefore \) Number of moles of carbon = \(\frac 4{12} = 0.33 \,mol\) Number of moles of sulphur = \(\frac 8{256.8} = 0.031\, mol\) \(\because \) 1 mole of S8 react with = 4 mole of carbon \(\therefore \) \(\)0.031 mole of S8 react with = (4 x 0.031) mole of carbon = 0.12 mol of carbon but we have 0.33 moles of carbon \(\therefore \) S8 is a limiting reagent. \(\therefore \) Number of moles of CS2 formed = 0.031 x 4 \(\therefore \) Weight of CS2 = 0.031 x 4 x 76 = 9.42 g Number of moles of carbon left = 0.33 - 0.12 = 0.21 mol or = 0.21 x 12 g = 2.52 g Hence, 9.42 g CS2 will formed and 2.52 g carbon left unreacted. |
