4. Consider the reaction between sulfur trioxide and water: SO3 (g) + H2O (1) → H2SO4 (aq) A chemist allows 61.5 g of SO3 and 11.2 g of H2O to react. When the reaction is finished, the chemist collects 54.9 g H2SO4. Determine the limiting reactant, theoretical yield, and percent yield for the reaction.
