In the production of carbon disulfide, coke and sulfur dioxide are reacted. If 8.00 grams of sulfur dioxide reacts, how many moles of carbon dioxide are produced?
Answer to this question would be helpful BUT I would rather know how to set up the equation instead.

The balanced reaction is:
3C + 2SO2 ----> CS2 + 2CO2
Notice that in the balanced reaction that the number of moles of sulfur dioxide that react and the moles of carbon dioxide produced are the same.
Since the molar mass of SO2 is 64g/mol and you are starting with 8.00 grams, this means that you are starting with 1/8 of a mole of sulfur dioxide. Since carbon dioxide is produced at the same amount, 1/8 of a mole of CO2 will be produced.
