Given the following chemical equation, how many moles of carbon are necessary to react with 5.52 moles of so2? 5c(s) + 2so2 (g) --> cs2 (l) + 4co (g)
5.52 moles so2
2.00 moles so2
13.8 moles so2
11.0 moles so2

Answer : The moles of carbon needed will be, 13.8 moles

Explanation : Given,

Moles of = 5.52 mole

Now we have to calculate to moles of carbon.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of react to give 5 moles of carbon

So, 5.52 mole of react to give moles of carbon

Therefore, the moles of carbon needed will be, 13.8 moles
