### Reaction Yield Calculation Problem

For the following reaction, 5.69 grams of hydrogen sulfide are mixed with excess oxygen gas. The reaction yields 2.33 grams of water.

\[ \text{2H}_2\text{S (g)} + 3\text{O}_2\text{ (g)} \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O (l)} + 2\text{SO}_2\text{ (g)} \]

#### Questions:

1. **What is the theoretical yield of water?**  
   \( \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \) grams
   
2. **What is the percent yield for this reaction?**  
   \( \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \) %

---

**Explanation:**

- **Theoretical Yield:** This is the maximum amount of product (water in this case) that can be formed from the given amount of reactant (hydrogen sulfide) based on stoichiometric calculations.
  
- **Percent Yield:** This represents the efficiency of the reaction and is calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100 \]

To solve these questions, you will need to perform stoichiometric calculations using the molar masses of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and water (H₂O) and the given chemical equation.
