Carbon disulfide is formed by the reaction of coke (carbon) with sulfur dioxide. How many moles of CS2 will be generated if 8.0 moles of coke react with a surplus of sulfur dioxide?
5C + 2SO2 → CS2 + 4CO

0.8 moles

1.6 moles

3.2 moles

6.4 moles

hint:

the equation tells us that, for every 5 moles of coke used, 1 mole of CS2 is produced

so just divide: moles of coke/5 to get your answer
