The compound sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, , is important commercially to the photography business as "hypo", because it has the ability to dissolve unreacted silver salts from photographic film during development. Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate can be produced by boiling elemental sulfur in an aqueous solution of sodium sulfite. S8 + Na2SO3 + H2O---> NaS2OH2O (unbalanced) What is the theoretical yield of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate when 2.95 g of sulfur is boiled with 13.6 g of sodium sulfite? Theoretical yield =___ g Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate is
