Look at the equation below.
O2 + CS2 → CO2 + SO2

Which of the following shows the equation balanced?
A. 3 O2 + CS2 → CO2 + 2 SO2

B. 3 O2 + CS2 → 2 CO2 + SO2

C. O2 + CS2 → CO2 + SO2

D. 4 O2 + 4 CS2 → 4 CO2 + 4 SO2



Answer :

3 O2 + CS2 = CO2 + 2 SO2 is the balance of O2 + CS2 → CO2 + SO2. So A

Answer:

Look at the equation below.

[tex]O_{2} +CS_2[/tex] → [tex]CO_2+SO_2[/tex]

The equation balanced is:

A. [tex]3O_2+CS_2[/tex] → [tex]CO_2+2SO_2[/tex]

Explanation:

The equation balanced is:

[tex]3O_2+CS_2[/tex] → [tex]CO_2+2SO_2[/tex]

This can be proved with the amount of atoms of each element in reagents and products:

Reagents:

O=6

C=1

S=2

Products:

O=6

C=1

S=2
