Carbon disulfide burns in oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide according to the chemical equation cs2(ℓ) + 3 o2(g) −→ co2(g) + 2 so2(g). if 1.25 mol of cs2 is combined with 0.57 mol of o2, identify the limiting reactant.

Respuesta :

Answer:

oxygen is the limiting reagent

Explanation:

cs2(ℓ) + 3 o2(g) −→ co2(g) + 2 so2(g)

from the balanced equation

1 mole carbon disulfide requires 3 mole of oxygen

1.25 moles of csâ‚‚ will required 3.75 mole of oxygen

while 0.57 mole of oxygen will require 0.19 mole of csâ‚‚

comparing, oxygen is the limiting reagent since 0.57 mole of oxygen will require just 0.19 mole out of 1.25 mole meaning csâ‚‚ is in excess.
