Problem

The gas-phase reaction 2 SO2(g)+O2(g)→2 SO3(g)2\,\text{SO}_2(g)+\text{O}_2(g)\rightarrow2\,\text{SO}_3(g) begins with 8 SO2\text{SO}_2 molecules and 6 O2\text{O}_2 molecules. If the reaction proceeds with an 80\% yield, calculate the number of SO3\text{SO}_3 molecules actually produced and determine how many SO2\text{SO}_2 and O2\text{O}_2 molecules remain unreacted.
