Answer is: mass of unused sulfur is 5.87 grams.
Balanced chemical reaction: C + 2S → CS₂.
m(C) = 12.0 g; mass of carbon.
m(S) = 70.0 g; mass of sulfur.
n(C) = m(C) ÷ M(C).
n(C) = 12 g ÷ 12 g/mol.
n(C) = 1 mol; amount of substance.
n(S) = m(S) ÷ M(S).
n(S) = 70 g ÷ 32.065 g/mol.
n(S) = 2.183 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(C) : n₁(S) = 1 : 2.
n₁(S) = 1 mol · 2 = 2 mol.
Δn(S) = n(S) - n₁(S).
Δn(S) = 2.183 mol - 2 mol.
Δn(S) = 0.183 mol; amount of unused sulfur.
Δm(S) = 0.183 mol · 32.065 g/mol.
Δm(S) = 5.87 g.
