What is the theoretical yield of so3 produced by the quantities described in part a? express your answer numerically in grams?

Sulfur reacts with oxygen to yield SO3 as shown in the equation below;

2S (g) + 3O2 (g) = 2SO3 (g)

From part A 7.49 g of S were used.

The atomic mass of sulfur is 32.06 g/mol

Hence, the number of moles of sulfur used

7.49 / 32.06 = 0.2336 moles

The mole ratio of S : SO3 is 1:1

Thus the mass of SO3 will be (1 mol of SO3 = 80.06 g)

0.2336 moles * 80.06 = 18.7 g
