How do I do this? The theoretical yield is 87.50, how do I get this?
ctober 19 – Stoichiometry in Chemical Reactions
ulfur, S3, and oxygen, O2, react to form sulfur trioxide, S
e (unbalanced) chemical reaction below. In a laboratory
<periment, you begin with 20.1 g Sg and 29.6 g O2. You
3.2 g of pure SO3. What is the % yield for this reaction?
pur work with correct formatting.
Sg + O2
SO3
tep #1 – Balance the chemical reaction
S3 + 12 O2 → 8 SO3
tep #2 – Determine the limiting reactant
herefore, O, is the limiting reactant and S3 is the excess
tep #3 – Determine the theoretical yield (in grams) of pr
tep #4- Calculate % yield
Therefore, this reaction has an 87.5% yield of SC

Sulfur, S8, and oxygen, O2, react to form sulfur trioxide, SO3, in the
(unbalanced) chemical reaction below. In a laboratory experiment,
you begin with 20.1 g Sg and 29.6 g 02. You produce 43.2 g of
pure SO3. What is the % yield for this reaction?
S8 + 02 → SO3
Use the following steps to answer this question:
1. Balance the chemical reaction
2. Determine the limiting reactant (using mass to mole
conversions & actual to theoretical mole comparison,
considering the stoichiometric ratios in the balanced reaction)
3. Determine the theoretical yield (in grams) of product (based
on the moles of the limit reactant and stoichiometric ratios in
the balanced reaction)
4. Calculate % yield using the actual mass and theoretical mass
of product
