Carbon disulphide, CS 2 , can be made from by-product SO 2 . The overall reaction is
5C + 2SO 2 
CS 2 + 4CO
How much CS 2 can be produced from 440 kg of waste SO 2 with 60 kg of coke if the SO 2 conversion is 80%?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION
(76 kg of CS 2 )
SO 2 that converted = 440 × 
Kg = 352 kg
5C + 2SO 2 
CS 2 + 4CO
Initial mole 5 × 10 3 
× 10 3 0 0
= 5.5 × 10 3
final mole 0 5.5 × 10 3 – 
× 5 × 10 3 1 × 10 3 4 × 10 3
mole of CS 2 = 1000
mass = 1000 × 76 g = 76 Kg
