Answer:
12 L of O₂.
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
CS₂ + 3O₂ —> CO₂ + 2SO₂
From the balanced equation above,
3 L of O₂ reacted to produce 1 L CO₂.
Finally, we shall determine the volume of O₂ needed to produce 4 L of CO₂. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
3 L of O₂ reacted to produce 1 L CO₂.
Therefore, xL of O₂ will react to produce 1 L CO₂ i.e
xL of O₂ = 3 × 4
xL of O₂ = 12 L
Thus, 12 L of O₂ is needed for the reaction.
