Problem

The roasting of iron(II) sulfide occurs according to 4 FeS2+11 O2→2 Fe2O3+8 SO2\mathrm{4\,FeS_2 + 11\,O_2 \rightarrow 2\,Fe_2O_3 + 8\,SO_2}. A sample containing 25.0 g\mathrm{25.0\,g} of FeS2\mathrm{FeS_2} is heated in the presence of 20.0 g\mathrm{20.0\,g} of O2\mathrm{O_2}, and 11.0 g\mathrm{11.0\,g} of SO2\mathrm{SO_2} is obtained. Calculate the percent yield of SO2\mathrm{SO_2} for this reaction.
