Answer

$0.50$ mole of $CS_2$ is produced when 2.5 moles of $C$ reacts.

Work Step by Step

1. Find the mole-mole conversion factors: According to the coefficients: 5 moles $C$ = 1 mole $CS_2$ $\frac{ 5 \space moles \space C}{ 1 \space mole \space CS_2}$ and $\frac{ 1 \space mole \space CS_2}{ 5 \space moles \space C}$ 2. Use the mole-mole conversion factors to calculate the amount of equivalent $CS_2$ in moles: $ 2.5$ moles $C \times \frac{ 1 \space mole \space CS_2}{ 5 \space moles \space C} = 0.50$ mole $CS_2$
