Solid sulfur and oxygen gas react to produce sulfur trioxide as shown below. In a particular experiment, 5.0 g of O2 are reacted with 6.0 g of S8. S8 (s) + O2 (g) → SO3 (g) a) If we assume complete consumption of the limiting reactant, what is the mass and identity of the reactant that still remains at the end of the reaction? b) What is the % yield of SO3 in this experiment if 7.9 g of SO3 are isolated?
