Question

Consider the reaction between sulfur trioxide and water.
SO3(g) + H2O(l) >>>H2SO4(aq)
A chemist allows 61.5g of SO3 and 11.2g of H2O to react. When the reaction is finished, the chemist collected 54.9g of H2SO4. Determine the limiting reactant, theoritical yield and percent yield for the reaction.
(Molar masses, g/mol:SO3=80.07;H2O=18.02;H2SO4=98.09)

Answer 1

1) Limiting reactant H2O , because the amount of substance in water is low

2 )Percent yield 90%
