When carbon disulfide is formed from its elements, heat is absorbed. Calculate the amount of heat in (kj) absorbed when 5.66g of carbon disulfide is formed
The amount of heat absorbed when 1.0 mol of CS₂ is formed = 89.3 kJ.
The no. of moles of 5.66 g that formed of CS₂ = mass / molar mass = (5.66 g) / (76.143 g/mol) = 0.0743 mol.
The amount of heat in (kJ) absorbed when 5.66g of carbon disulfide is formed = n x The amount of heat absorbed when 1.0 mol of CS₂ is formed = (0.0743 mol) (89.3 kJ/mol) = 6.64 KJ.
