How do I calculate the percentage yield?

A reaction of 2.65 g of lead(II) sulfide with excess oxygen produces 0.67 g of sulfur dioxide. Calculate the % yield of the reaction:



2 PbS + 3 O2 -----%26gt; 2 PbO + 2 SO2How do I calculate the percentage yield?
Let UNITs guide you; always USE THEM in your calculation to prevent errors



max g = 2.65 g / MW PbS in g/mole * MW SO2



% yield = 100 * 0.67 g / max g
