Expert Solution

Given reaction is   2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g)

From this reaction, it is clear that 2 moles of SO3 is produced.

B) Therefore,

        theoretical yield of SO3 = 2 moles

C) We have to calculate the no of moles of SO3 by using ideal gas equation.

   Given that    Volume of SO3, V= 175.8 mL = 0.1758 L

                         Temp T = 327 K

                    Pressure P = 48.7 mmHg = 48.7/ 760 atm = 0.064 atm      [ 1 atm = 760 mmHg ]

               no of moles of SO3, n = ?

             We know that Ideal gas equation is

         PV = nRT where R = Ideal gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/K/mol

           n = PV/RT

              =   [0.064 atm x 0.1758 L]/ [0.0821 L.atm/K/mol x 327 K ]

              = 0.00042 moles

This is the actual yield of SO3.

Therefore,

percent yield of SO3 = [actual yield of SO3 / theoretical yield of SO3] x 100

                              = [0.00042 moles / 2 moles] x 100

                              = 0.021 %
