Answer:

The mass of H2SO4 collected is 92.0g assuming the theoretical yield of H2SO4 is 100g

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the theoretical yield of the sulfuric acid, H2SO4, is 100g.

To solve this question we must use the equation of percent yield:

Percent yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield * 100

Where percent yield = 92.0%, actual yield is the mass of H2SO4 produced and theoretical yield is 100g, the mass we are assuming

Replacing:

92.0% = Actual yield / 100g * 100

92.0g = Actual Yield

The mass of H2SO4 collected is 92.0g assuming the theoretical yield of H2SO4 is 100g
