Consider the following reaction:
2SO2(g)+O2(g)=2SO3(g)
If 267.5 mL of SO2 is allowed to react with 177.9 mL of O2 (both measured at STP), what is the limiting reactant?
ANSWER=SO2
*What is the theoretical yield of SO3?
*If 118.2 mL of SO3 is collected (measured at STP), what is the percent yield for the reaction?

-
2SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g)
Theoretical volume of SO2: 2* 177.9 = 355.8 ml ( > 267.5 ml)
Since actual volume is limited, SO2 is LA
Theoretical yield of SO3 is 267.5 ml (same ratio)
Percent yield: 118.2/ 267.5 = 44.2%
