Answer 1

The answer to your question is 30 moles of CO₂

Step-by-step explanation:

CS₂ + 3O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + 2SO₂

We know that 3 moles of oxygen produce 1 mol of carbon dioxide, then use proportions to find the amount of CO₂ in the conditions given.

3 moles of O₂ --------------- 1 mol of CO₂

90 moles of O₂ ------------- x

x = ( 90 x 1) / 3

x = 90 / 3

x = 30 moles of CO₂
