The pollutant SO2 can be removed from the emission of an industrial plant by making it react with CaCO3 and O2. The reaction is: 2 SO2 (g) + 2 CaCO3 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 CaSO4 (s) + 2 CO2 (g) a. If 5.25 g SO2 reacts with excess of CaCO3 and O2, how many grams of CaSO4 are formed? b. If the actual yield of CaSO4 is 10.8 g, what is the percent yield?

The pollutant SO2 can be removed from the emission of an industrial plant by making it react with CaCO3 and O2.
The reaction is: 2 SO2 (gas) + 2 CaCO3 (gas) + O2 (gas) → 2 CaSO4 (solid) + 2 CO2 (gas)

a. If 5.25 g SO2 reacts with excess of CaCO3 and O2, how many grams of CaSO4 are formed?
b. If the actual yield of CaSO4 is 10.8 g, what is the percent yield?

The pollutant SO2 can be removed from the emission of an industrial plant by making it
react with CaCO3 and O2. The reaction is:
2 SO2 (g) + 2 CaCO3 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 CaSO4 (s) + 2 CO2 (g)
a. If 5.25 g SO2 reacts with excess of CaCO3 and O2, how many grams of CaSO4 are
formed?
b. If the actual yield of CaSO4 is 10.8 g, what is the percent yield?
