Disulfur dichloride (S2Cl2) is used in the vulcanization of rubber, a process that prevents the slippage of rubber molecules past one another when stretched. It is prepared by heating sulfur in an atmosphere of chlorine.
What is the theoretical yield of S2Cl2 in grams when 4.06 g of S8 are healed with 6.24 g of Cl2? If the actual yield of S2Cl2 is 6.55 g. what is the percent yield?
