Sulfur trioxide, SO3, is made from the oxidation of SO2, and the reaction is represented by the equation: 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3. A 21-g sample of SO2 gives 18 g of SO3. If the theoretical yield is 26 g, calculate the percent yield?
Added by Mary A.
Step 1
It is the ratio of the actual yield (what you actually produced in a reaction) to the theoretical yield (what you could have made, according to stoichiometry), multiplied by 100%. In this case, the actual yield is 18 g of SO3 and the theoretical yield is 26 g of Show more…

The percent yield of the following reaction is consistently $92 \% .$ $$ \mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{~g})+4 \mathrm{~S}(\mathrm{~g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CS}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}(\mathrm{~g}) $$ How many grams of sulfur would be needed to obtain $80.0 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{CS}_{2} ?$
