Sulfur, S8, andoxygen, O2, react to form sulfurtrioxide, SO3, in the (unbalanced) chemicalreaction below. In a laboratory experiment, you begin with 20.1 gS8 and 29.6 g O2. You produce 43.2 g ofpure SO3. What is the % yield for thisreaction?

S8 + O2 ? 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, consideringthe stoichiometric ratios in the balanced reaction)
  3. Determine the theoretical yield (in grams) of product (based onthe moles of the limit reactant and stoichiometric ratios inthe balanced reaction)
  4. Calculate % yield using the actual mass and theoretical mass ofproduct

You must show your work in a typed format - this can be donedirectly in Blackboard or via an equation editor (such as Microsoftequation editor). You must either submit your answer astext/equations directly in Blackboard or as an attached file inDOC, DOCX, or PDF format.
