Carbon disulfide reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
CS_2 + O_2 -> CO_2 + SO_2
Start by finding the number of moles of the carbon dioxide produced.
37.8 \ "g" \ CS_2 xx ( 1\ "mol."\ CS_2)/(76.1407 \ "g" \ CS_2)xx ("1 mol."\ CO_2)/( 1 \ "mol."\ CS_2)
37.8 \cancel ( "g" \ CS_2) xx ( color(red) cancel( 1\ "mol."\ CS_2))/(76.1407 \cancel( "g" \ CS_2))xx ("1 mol."\ CO_2)/(color (red) cancel( 1\ "mol."\ CS_2))
0.496 \ mol. \ CO_2
Now use the ideal gas equation to figure out the the volume of the CO_2 produced.
P*V= n*R*T
Where
P" " is the pressure expressed in atm.
V" " is the volume expressed in L.
n" " is the number of moles.
R" " is the universal gas constant, it has a value of 0.0821\ L* atm. mol^-1*K^-1
T" " is the Kelvin temperature.
Now rearrange the ideal gas equation and solve for V.
V= (n*R*T)/P
V= (0.496\ molxx0.0821\ L*atm*mol^-1*K^-1 xx 302.00 \ K)/ (1.02\ atm)
V= (0.496\cancel( mol)xx0.0821\ L*cancel(atm)*cancel(mol^-1)*cancel(K^-1)xx 302.00 \cancel(K))/ (1.02\ cancel(atm))
V= 12.1 \ L
