Carbon Disulfide is an important industrial substance. Its fumes burn explosively in air to form carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. If 1.60 moles of carbon disulfide burns with 5.60 moles of oxygen, what mass in grams of carbon dioxide will be produced? Which reactant will be in excess?
I need the answer ASAP! Thanks! :)

CS2 + 3 O2 => CO2 + 2 SO2
1.6 mole of CS2 will react with 3 x 1.6 = 4.8 mole ofO2
but we have 5.6 mole of O2 or 0.8 mole of O2 excess
the CS2 is used up first and produces 1.6 moles of CO2 or 1.60 x 44 g of CO2 = 70.4g
