Question

What is the percent yield for the reaction of 500. g of CS2 and excess O2 if 768. g of SO2 was recovered in the laboratory?

Answer 1

use the balanced reaction and the 500g of \(CS_2\) to find out how much \(SO_2\) SHOULD have been made. That's your theoretical yield.

Find the percent yield using the theoretical yield and the actual yield given.
