How many O2 molecules are needed to react with 4.59 g of S?in 2S ＋3O2→2SO3

Elemental S reacts with O2 to form SO3 according to the reaction 2S+3O2→2SO3 Part B: What is the theoretical yield of SO3 produced by the quantities described in Part A? Express your answer numerically in grams.

Part A: 1.88x10^23 O2 molecules are needed to react with 6.67 g of S.
