Hydrogen sulfide is an impurity in natural gas that must be removed. One common removal method is called the Claus process, which relies on the reaction:
8 H2S(g) + 4 O2(g) ⟶ S8(l) + 8 H2O(g)
a) If there were 30.00 g H2S and 50.00 g O2, what is the limiting reactant? (6 points)
b) What is the theoretical yield (S8) of the reaction? (2 pts)
c) How many grams of the excess reactant remain after the reaction? (4 pts)
d) What is the percent yield of the reaction if the actual yield is 27.5 g of S8? (3 pts)
