2. Sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) reacts with excess oxygen gas (O2) and excess liquid water (H2O) to form liquid sulfuric acid (H2SO4). In the laboratory, a chemist carries out this reaction with 67.2 L of sulfur dioxide and gets 250 g of sulfuric acid. • Write a balanced equation for the reaction.
• Calculate the theoretical yield of sulfuric acid.
• Calculate the percent yield of the reaction.
(One mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L under certain conditions of temperature and pressure. Assume those conditions for this question.)

See explanation

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the formation of sulphuric acid is;

2SO2 + O2 + 2H2O → 2H2SO4

If 1 mole of SO2 occupies 22.4 L

x moles occupy 67.2 L

x = 1 × 67.2/22.4

x= 3 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of SO2 yields 2 moles of H2SO4

Hence 3 moles of SO2 also yields 3 moles of H2SO4

Theoretical yield of H2SO4 = 3 moles × 98 g/mol = 294 g

Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 250g/294g × 100

Percent yield = 85%

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
