When hydrogen sulfide gas is bubbled into a solution of sodium hydroxide, the reaction forms sodium sulfide and water. How many grams of sodium sulfide are formed if 2.00 g of hydrogen sulfide is bubbled into a solution containing 2.00 g of sodium hydroxide, assuming that the sodium sulfide is made in 92.0% yield?

Expert Solution
Introduction-

Limiting Reagent: It is the one reactant in a chemical reaction which decides the amount of product formed as it is present in a lesser quantity than the other reactant. It is also completely consumed in a reaction.

In order to know the limiting reagent we need to know the concentration of the reactant.

Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of yield that could possibly be obtained in the reaction.

Actual yield is the amount of yield that is obtained in the actual reaction.
