Problem

Calcium carbonate, CaCO3\text{CaCO}_3 , is able to remove sulfur dioxide, SO2\text{SO}_2 , from waste gases by a reaction in which the two substances react in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio to form equimolar amounts of CaSO3\text{CaSO}_3 and CO2\text{CO}_2 . When 255 g of CaCO3\text{CaCO}_3 reacted with 135 g of SO2\text{SO}_2 , 198 g of CaSO3\text{CaSO}_3 were formed. Determine the percentage yield of CaSO3\text{CaSO}_3 .
