5C(s) + 2SO2(g) > CS2(l) + 4CO(g)
mols CO in 17 g. moles = g/molar mass = 17/30 = 0.567
From the balanced equation you see 2 mols SO2 will produce 4 moles CO; therefore, convert mole CO to mols SO2 as follows: 0.567 mols CO x (2 moles SO2/4 mols CO) = ?

So 8.5 moles of SO2

Ok here is what I have so far :
17gCO x 1mol/28.01 g CO x 2molSO2/4 mol CO
17gCO x 1mol/28.01 g CO x 2molSO2/4 mol CO

I don't have the slightest idea how you came up with 8.5 moles SO2. Your equation is correct; i.e., 17 g CO x (1 mol CO/28.01) x (2 mols SO2/4 mols CO) = ? and it isn't 8.5
