Properties of gases problem
« on: January 26, 2010, 03:47:09 PM »
I'm having a bit of trouble solving this problem:

A mixture of CS2 (g) and excess O2 (g) is placed in a 10.0 L reaction vessel at 100.0 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 3.00 atm. A spark causes the CS2 to ignite, burning it completely according to the equation:

CS2 (g) + 3O2 (g) ---> CO2 (g) + 2SO2 (g)

After reaction, the temperature returns to 100.0 degrees Celsius, and the mixture of product gases (CO2, SO2, and unreacted O2) is found to have a pressure of 2.40 atm. What is the partial pressure of each gas in the product mixture?

How many moles before, how many moles after? Does the difference in number of moles tell something about the initial amount of CS2?
