Let’s solve each problem step by step.

Problem 1: Reaction of phosphorus with chlorine

Reaction:
P₄(s) + 6 Cl₂(g) → 4 PCl₃(l)

We’re told:
- Mass of P₄ = 75.0 g
- Mass of Cl₂ = 275 g
- Actual yield of PCl₃ = 112 g

We need to find:
a. Theoretical yield (how much PCl₃ we *should* get if reaction goes perfectly)
b. Percent yield = (actual / theoretical) × 100%

---

Step 1: Find moles of each reactant.

Molar mass of P₄ = 4 × 30.97 = 123.88 g/mol
→ Moles of P₄ = 75.0 g ÷ 123.88 g/mol ≈ 0.605 mol

Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 × 35.45 = 70.90 g/mol
→ Moles of Cl₂ = 275 g ÷ 70.90 g/mol ≈ 3.879 mol

---

Step 2: Use stoichiometry to see which is limiting.

From the balanced equation:
1 mol P₄ needs 6 mol Cl₂

So, for 0.605 mol P₄, we’d need:
0.605 × 6 = 3.63 mol Cl₂

But we have 3.879 mol Cl₂ — that’s MORE than needed. So P₄ is limiting? Wait — let’s check the other way.

How much P₄ would 3.879 mol Cl₂ require?

From ratio: 6 mol Cl₂ : 1 mol P₄
→ 3.879 mol Cl₂ ÷ 6 = 0.6465 mol P₄ needed

But we only have 0.605 mol P₄ — so we don’t have enough P₄ to use all the Cl₂.

✔ Therefore, P₄ is the limiting reactant.

---

Step 3: Calculate theoretical yield from P₄.

From equation: 1 mol P₄ → 4 mol PCl₃

So 0.605 mol P₄ → 0.605 × 4 = 2.42 mol PCl₃

Molar mass of PCl₃ = 30.97 + (3 × 35.45) = 30.97 + 106.35 = 137.32 g/mol

→ Theoretical mass = 2.42 mol × 137.32 g/mol ≈ 332.3 g

Wait — that seems too high compared to actual yield of 112g. Let me double-check.

Hold on — maybe I made a mistake in molar masses or math.

Recalculate:

P₄ molar mass: 4 × 30.97 = 123.88 → correct
Cl₂: 2 × 35.45 = 70.90 → correct
PCl₃: 30.97 + 3×35.45 = 30.97 + 106.35 = 137.32 → correct

Moles P₄: 75.0 / 123.88 = let’s calculate exactly:

75 ÷ 123.88 = 0.6054 mol → ok

Moles Cl₂: 275 ÷ 70.90 = 3.8787 mol → ok

Now, how much PCl₃ can be made from P₄?

0.6054 mol P₄ × (4 mol PCl₃ / 1 mol P₄) = 2.4216 mol PCl₃

Mass = 2.4216 × 137.32 = let’s compute:

2.4216 × 137.32

First, 2 × 137.32 = 274.64
0.4 × 137.32 = 54.928
0.0216 × 137.32 ≈ 2.966

Total ≈ 274.64 + 54.928 = 329.568 + 2.966 ≈ 332.5 g

But wait — this can’t be right because actual yield is only 112g, and percent yield would be over 30% — but let’s check if Cl₂ is actually limiting.

Earlier I thought P₄ was limiting, but let’s verify how much PCl₃ Cl₂ can make.

From Cl₂: 6 mol Cl₂ → 4 mol PCl₃

So 3.8787 mol Cl₂ × (4/6) = 3.8787 × 2/3 ≈ 2.5858 mol PCl₃

Mass = 2.5858 × 137.32 ≈ ?

2.5 × 137.32 = 343.3
0.0858 × 137.32 ≈ 11.78
Total ≈ 355.08 g — even higher!

That means both give more than 112g — but that doesn’t make sense unless I messed up the reaction.

Wait — look back at the reaction given in the image:

It says: P₄(s) + 6 Cl₂(g) → 4 PCl₃(l)

But then it says “the theoretical yield” — and gives actual as 112g.

Perhaps I misread the problem. Let me re-read.

Actually, looking again — the problem says:

“Phosphorus reacts with chlorine gas to produce phosphorus trichloride... If 75.0 g of P₄ and 275 g of Cl₂ are mixed, what is the theoretical yield?”

And then part b: “If the actual yield is 112 g, what is the percent yield?”

But my calculation gives ~332g theoretical — which would mean percent yield = 112/332 × 100 ≈ 33.7% — possible, but let’s check if the reaction is written correctly.

Wait — perhaps the product is PCl₅? No, the problem says PCl₃.

Another possibility: maybe the molar mass of P is taken as 31.0, Cl as 35.5 — let’s try with rounded values.

Try with:

P = 31.0 → P₄ = 124.0 g/mol
Cl = 35.5 → Cl₂ = 71.0 g/mol
PCl₃ = 31.0 + 3×35.5 = 31.0 + 106.5 = 137.5 g/mol

Moles P₄ = 75.0 / 124.0 = 0.6048 mol
Moles Cl₂ = 275 / 71.0 = 3.8732 mol

From P₄: 0.6048 mol P₄ → 4 × 0.6048 = 2.4192 mol PCl₃
Mass = 2.4192 × 137.5 = let's calculate:

2.4192 × 137.5 = 2.4192 × (100 + 37.5) = 241.92 + 2.4192×37.5

2.4192 × 37.5 = 2.4192 × 30 + 2.4192 × 7.5 = 72.576 + 18.144 = 90.72

Total = 241.92 + 90.72 = 332.64 g — same as before.

But now, let’s check how much Cl₂ is required for 0.6048 mol P₄:

Needs 6 × 0.6048 = 3.6288 mol Cl₂

We have 3.8732 mol — so yes, P₄ is limiting.

Theoretical yield = 332.6 g

Actual = 112 g

Percent yield = (112 / 332.6) × 100 ≈ 33.67%

But this seems low, and also, the problem might have a typo, or perhaps I misread the actual yield.

Wait — looking back at the user’s image description, it says:

"If the actual yield is 112 g" — but in many textbooks, for this reaction, the numbers are different.

Perhaps the reaction is for PCl₅? Let me check the image text again.

In the user’s message, it says:

"P₄(s) + 6 Cl₂(g) → 4 PCl₃(l)" — that’s clear.

But then in part c, it says "What is the percent yield?" — so perhaps 112g is correct.

Maybe I should proceed.

But let’s do exact calculation with precise atomic masses.

Atomic mass P = 30.973762
Cl = 35.45

P₄ = 4*30.973762 = 123.895048 g/mol
Cl₂ = 70.90 g/mol
PCl₃ = 30.973762 + 3*35.45 = 30.973762 + 106.35 = 137.323762 g/mol

Moles P₄ = 75.0 / 123.895048 ≈ 0.6053 mol
Moles Cl₂ = 275 / 70.90 = 3.8787 mol

From P₄: max PCl₃ = 4 * 0.6053 = 2.4212 mol
Mass = 2.4212 * 137.323762 ≈ let's compute:

2.4212 * 137.323762

First, 2.4212 * 137 = 2.4212*100=242.12, 2.4212*37=89.5844, total 331.7044

Then 2.4212 * 0.323762 ≈ 0.7838

Total ≈ 332.4882 g

So theoretical yield ≈ 332.5 g

Percent yield = (112 / 332.5) * 100 = ?

112 ÷ 332.5 = 0.3368

*100 = 33.68%

But this feels off because usually problems have nicer numbers. Perhaps the actual yield is for something else, or maybe I have a mistake.

Another thought: perhaps the reaction is P₄ + 10 Cl₂ -> 4 PCl₅, but the problem clearly says PCl₃.

Let me read the problem again from the user's text:

"Phosphorus reacts with chlorine gas to produce phosphorus trichloride according to the following equation: P₄(s) + 6 Cl₂(g) → 4 PCl₃(l)"

Yes.

Perhaps the 112g is a typo, and it's 312g or something, but I have to go with what's given.

Maybe the limiting reactant is Cl₂? Let's calculate how much PCl₃ from Cl₂.

From Cl₂: 6 mol Cl₂ -> 4 mol PCl₃

Moles Cl₂ = 275 / 70.90 = 3.8787 mol

Moles PCl₃ = (4/6)*3.8787 = (2/3)*3.8787 = 2.5858 mol

Mass = 2.5858 * 137.32 = let's say 2.5858 * 137.32

2.5*137.32 = 343.3

0.0858*137.32 ≈ 11.78

Total 355.08 g — still higher.

So P₄ is limiting, theoretical yield 332.5 g, percent yield 33.7%.

But let's move to problem 2, and come back.

---

Problem 2: Aluminum oxide formation

Reaction: 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 Al₂O₃(s)

Given:
- Mass of Al = 10.0 g
- Mass of O₂ = 19.0 g
- Actual yield of Al₂O₃ = 15.0 g

Find:
a. Limiting reactant
b. Theoretical yield
c. Percent yield

Step 1: Molar masses

Al = 26.98 g/mol
O₂ = 32.00 g/mol
Al₂O₃ = 2*26.98 + 3*16.00 = 53.96 + 48.00 = 101.96 g/mol

Moles Al = 10.0 / 26.98 ≈ 0.3706 mol
Moles O₂ = 19.0 / 32.00 = 0.59375 mol

Step 2: Stoichiometry

From equation: 4 mol Al requires 3 mol O₂

So for 0.3706 mol Al, need O₂ = (3/4)*0.3706 = 0.27795 mol

We have 0.59375 mol O₂ — plenty, so Al is limiting? Check other way.

For 0.59375 mol O₂, need Al = (4/3)*0.59375 = 0.79167 mol

But we have only 0.3706 mol Al — not enough. So Al is limiting.

✔ Limiting reactant: Al

Step 3: Theoretical yield from Al

4 mol Al → 2 mol Al₂O₃

So 0.3706 mol Al → (2/4)*0.3706 = 0.1853 mol Al₂O₃

Mass = 0.1853 * 101.96 ≈ ?

0.1853 * 100 = 18.53
0.1853 * 1.96 ≈ 0.3632
Total ≈ 18.8932 g

So theoretical yield ≈ 18.89 g

Actual yield = 15.0 g

Percent yield = (15.0 / 18.89) * 100 ≈ 79.4%

This makes sense.

Back to problem 1 — perhaps I have a calculation error, or the numbers are intended to be used as is.

Maybe in problem 1, the actual yield is 312g, but it says 112g. Or perhaps it's 112g for a different reason.

Another idea: perhaps the reaction is not complete, or there's a mistake in the problem, but I'll proceed with my calculation.

For problem 1:

Theoretical yield = 332.5 g
Percent yield = (112 / 332.5) * 100 = 33.68% — round to 33.7%

But let's use exact values.

Perhaps the problem expects us to use P=31, Cl=35.5

P₄ = 124 g/mol
Cl₂ = 71 g/mol
PCl₃ = 31 + 106.5 = 137.5 g/mol

Moles P₄ = 75/124 = 75÷124 = 0.6048387 mol
Moles Cl₂ = 275/71 = 3.8732394 mol

From P₄: PCl₃ moles = 4 * 0.6048387 = 2.4193548 mol
Mass = 2.4193548 * 137.5 = let's calculate:

2.4193548 * 137.5 = 2.4193548 * (100 + 37.5) = 241.93548 + 2.4193548*37.5

2.4193548*37.5 = 2.4193548*30 + 2.4193548*7.5 = 72.580644 + 18.145161 = 90.725805

Total = 241.93548 + 90.725805 = 332.661285 g

So 332.7 g

Percent yield = 112 / 332.7 * 100 = 33.66% — approximately 33.7%

I think we have to go with that.

Perhaps the actual yield is for PCl₅, but the problem says PCl₃.

Let's assume it's correct.

So for problem 1:

a. Theoretical yield = 333 g (rounded)
b. Percent yield = 33.7%

But let's keep more digits for accuracy.

In many textbooks, they use P=31.0, Cl=35.5, so let's use that.

P₄ = 124.0 g/mol
Cl₂ = 71.0 g/mol
PCl₃ = 137.5 g/mol

Moles P₄ = 75.0 / 124.0 = 0.6048 mol
Moles Cl₂ = 275 / 71.0 = 3.8732 mol

Limiting reactant: P₄ (as calculated)

Theoretical yield = 0.6048 mol P₄ * (4 mol PCl₃ / 1 mol P₄) * 137.5 g/mol = 0.6048 * 4 * 137.5

First, 0.6048 * 4 = 2.4192
2.4192 * 137.5 = let's do 2.4192 * 137.5

2.4192 * 100 = 241.92
2.4192 * 37.5 = 2.4192 * 30 = 72.576, 2.4192 * 7.5 = 18.144, sum 90.72
Total 241.92 + 90.72 = 332.64 g

So 332.6 g

Percent yield = (112 / 332.6) * 100 = ?

112 ÷ 332.6 = 0.33674
*100 = 33.674% — so 33.7%

Okay.

Now problem 3: Aspirin synthesis

Reaction: C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃ → C₉H₈O₄ + C₂H₄O₂

Salicylic acid + acetic anhydride -> aspirin + acetic acid

Given:
- Mass salicylic acid = 2.00 g
- Mass acetic anhydride = 4.00 g
- Actual yield aspirin = 2.10 g

Find:
a. Balanced equation — already given, but let's confirm atoms.

Left: C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 = C11H12O6
Right: C9H8O4 + C2H4O2 = C11H12O6 — balanced.

b. Which reactant is limiting?

Molar masses:

Salicylic acid C7H6O3 = 7*12.01 + 6*1.008 + 3*16.00 = 84.07 + 6.048 + 48.00 = 138.118 g/mol

Acetic anhydride C4H6O3 = 4*12.01 + 6*1.008 + 3*16.00 = 48.04 + 6.048 + 48.00 = 102.088 g/mol

Aspirin C9H8O4 = 9*12.01 + 8*1.008 + 4*16.00 = 108.09 + 8.064 + 64.00 = 180.154 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 2.00 / 138.118 ≈ 0.01448 mol

Moles acetic anhydride = 4.00 / 102.088 ≈ 0.03918 mol

From equation: 1:1 ratio

So salicylic acid is limiting since 0.01448 < 0.03918

c. Theoretical yield of aspirin

From salicylic acid: 1 mol -> 1 mol aspirin

So 0.01448 mol aspirin

Mass = 0.01448 * 180.154 ≈ ?

0.01448 * 180 = 2.6064
0.01448 * 0.154 ≈ 0.00223
Total ≈ 2.6086 g

So theoretical yield = 2.61 g

d. Percent yield = (2.10 / 2.61) * 100 ≈ 80.46% — 80.5%

e. Excess reactant is acetic anhydride

Moles used = 0.01448 mol (since 1:1)

Moles initial = 0.03918 mol

Moles left = 0.03918 - 0.01448 = 0.0247 mol

Mass left = 0.0247 * 102.088 ≈ 2.52 g

Calculate:

0.0247 * 102.088 = 0.0247 * 100 = 2.47, 0.0247 * 2.088 ≈ 0.0516, total 2.5216 g

So 2.52 g excess

f. If actual yield is 2.10 g, and theoretical is 2.61 g, percent yield is 80.5%, as above.

Now problem 4: Lithium nitride

Reaction: 6 Li(s) + N₂(g) → 2 Li₃N(s)

Given:
- Mass Li = 5.00 g
- Mass N₂ = 5.00 g
- Actual yield Li₃N = 5.00 g

Find:
a. Limiting reactant
b. Theoretical yield
c. Percent yield

Molar masses:

Li = 6.94 g/mol
N₂ = 28.02 g/mol
Li₃N = 3*6.94 + 14.01 = 20.82 + 14.01 = 34.83 g/mol

Moles Li = 5.00 / 6.94 ≈ 0.7205 mol
Moles N₂ = 5.00 / 28.02 ≈ 0.1784 mol

Stoichiometry: 6 mol Li : 1 mol N₂

For 0.7205 mol Li, need N₂ = 0.7205 / 6 = 0.12008 mol

We have 0.1784 mol N₂ — more than enough, so Li is limiting? Check.

For 0.1784 mol N₂, need Li = 6 * 0.1784 = 1.0704 mol

But we have only 0.7205 mol Li — not enough. So Li is limiting.

✔ Limiting reactant: Li

Theoretical yield from Li:

6 mol Li -> 2 mol Li₃N

So 0.7205 mol Li -> (2/6)*0.7205 = (1/3)*0.7205 = 0.24017 mol Li₃N

Mass = 0.24017 * 34.83 ≈ ?

0.24 * 34.83 = 8.3592
0.00017*34.83≈0.0059, negligible
Better: 0.24017 * 34.83

First, 0.24017 * 30 = 7.2051
0.24017 * 4.83 = 0.24017*4 = 0.96068, 0.24017*0.83≈0.19934, sum 1.16002
Total 7.2051 + 1.16002 = 8.36512 g

So theoretical yield = 8.37 g

Actual yield = 5.00 g

Percent yield = (5.00 / 8.37) * 100 ≈ 59.74% — 59.7%

Now problem 5: Methanol synthesis

Reaction: CO(g) + 2 H₂(g) → CH₃OH(g)

Given:
- Mass CO = 35.4 g
- Mass H₂ = 10.2 g
- Actual yield CH₃OH = 28.0 g

Find:
a. Limiting reactant
b. Theoretical yield
c. Percent yield

Molar masses:

CO = 12.01 + 16.00 = 28.01 g/mol
H₂ = 2.016 g/mol
CH₃OH = 12.01 + 4*1.008 + 16.00 = 12.01 + 4.032 + 16.00 = 32.042 g/mol

Moles CO = 35.4 / 28.01 ≈ 1.2638 mol
Moles H₂ = 10.2 / 2.016 ≈ 5.0595 mol

Stoichiometry: 1 mol CO : 2 mol H₂

For 1.2638 mol CO, need H₂ = 2 * 1.2638 = 2.5276 mol

We have 5.0595 mol H₂ — plenty, so CO is limiting? Check.

For 5.0595 mol H₂, need CO = 5.0595 / 2 = 2.52975 mol

But we have only 1.2638 mol CO — not enough. So CO is limiting.

✔ Limiting reactant: CO

Theoretical yield from CO:

1 mol CO -> 1 mol CH₃OH

So 1.2638 mol CH₃OH

Mass = 1.2638 * 32.042 ≈ ?

1.2638 * 32 = 40.4416
1.2638 * 0.042 = 0.0530796
Total ≈ 40.4947 g

So 40.5 g

Actual yield = 28.0 g

Percent yield = (28.0 / 40.5) * 100 ≈ 69.14% — 69.1%

Now, back to problem 1 — I think I have to accept the numbers.

Perhaps in problem 1, the actual yield is 312g, but it's written as 112g. Or maybe it's a different compound.

Another possibility: perhaps the reaction is for PCl₅, but the problem says PCl₃.

Let's look at the user's image description again — it says "phosphorus trichloride", so PCl₃.

Perhaps the 112g is for the product, and we have to live with it.

So for problem 1:

a. Theoretical yield = 333 g (using significant figures — inputs are 75.0, 275, so three sig fig)

75.0 has three, 275 has three, so theoretical yield should be 333 g

Percent yield = (112 / 333) * 100 = 33.6% — but 112 has three sig fig, 333 has three, so 33.6%

112 / 333 = 0.3363, *100 = 33.63% — so 33.6%

But let's calculate with the values.

Perhaps use the calculation from earlier.

I think for consistency, I'll use the values.

So summary:

Problem 1:
a. Theoretical yield = 333 g
b. Percent yield = 33.6%

Problem 2:
a. Limiting reactant: Al
b. Theoretical yield = 18.9 g
c. Percent yield = 79.4%

Problem 3:
a. Balanced: C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 -> C9H8O4 + C2H4O2
b. Limiting reactant: salicylic acid
c. Theoretical yield = 2.61 g
d. Percent yield = 80.5%
e. Excess reactant: acetic anhydride, mass left = 2.52 g
f. Percent yield = 80.5% (same as d)

Problem 4:
a. Limiting reactant: Li
b. Theoretical yield = 8.37 g
c. Percent yield = 59.7%

Problem 5:
a. Limiting reactant: CO
b. Theoretical yield = 40.5 g
c. Percent yield = 69.1%

Now for the final answer, since the user didn't specify which problem, but the instruction is to solve the problem, and there are multiple, perhaps I need to provide all.

But the response format says "Final Answer" — probably for the first problem or all.

Looking at the user's request, it says "solve the problem", and the image has multiple, but perhaps they want all solved.

In the response format, it says "provide only the final correct answer" after explanations, but since there are multiple problems, I should list them.

Perhaps for each problem, give the answers.

But to follow the format, I'll provide the answers for each part.

Since the user may expect the first problem, but I think I should include all.

Another idea: perhaps the "problem" refers to the entire set, but that's unusual.

I think I'll box the answers for each problem.

But for the Final Answer section, I'll write the key results.

Perhaps the user wants the solution for the first problem, as it's listed first.

To be safe, I'll provide the answers for problem 1 in the final answer, as it's the first one.

But let's see the instruction: "Solve the problem accurately." — and the image has several, so perhaps all.

I think for clarity, I'll state the answers for each.

In the Final Answer, I'll put the main results.

Perhaps:

For Problem 1:
Theoretical yield = 333 g
Percent yield = 33.6%

For Problem 2:
Limiting reactant = Al
Theoretical yield = 18.9 g
Percent yield = 79.4%

And so on.

But to save space, since the user might want only the first, but I think I should include all.

Looking back at the user's message, it says "the task" singular, but the image has multiple problems.

Perhaps in context, it's the first one.

I recall that in some systems, they expect the first problem.

To be thorough, I'll provide all, but in the Final Answer, I'll summarize.

Perhaps the Final Answer is for the first problem's parts.

Let's decide.

I think for this platform, since it's "solve the problem", and there are five, but perhaps they are separate.

Another approach: in the explanation, I did all, and for Final Answer, I'll put the numerical answers for each.

But the format says "provide only the final correct answer", so perhaps for the first problem.

I think I'll assume that the user wants the solution for the first problem, as it's the most detailed.

So for Problem 1:

a. Theoretical yield = 333 g
b. Percent yield = 33.6%

With the calculation.

Perhaps use exact values.

Let's calculate with the numbers given.

In problem 1, masses are 75.0 g P4, 275 g Cl2, actual 112 g PCl3.

Using atomic masses as per standard.

P = 30.97, Cl = 35.45

P4 = 123.88 g/mol
Cl2 = 70.90 g/mol
PCl3 = 30.97 + 106.35 = 137.32 g/mol

Moles P4 = 75.0 / 123.88 = 0.6054 mol
Moles Cl2 = 275 / 70.90 = 3.8787 mol

From P4, PCl3 = 4 * 0.6054 = 2.4216 mol
Mass = 2.4216 * 137.32 = 332.5 g (let's calculate: 2.4216 * 137.32)

2.4216 * 137 = 2.4216*100=242.16, 2.4216*37=89.5992, sum 331.7592
2.4216 * 0.32 = 0.774912
Total 332.534112 g — so 332.5 g

Percent yield = (112 / 332.5) * 100 = 33.6842% — so 33.7% if rounded to three significant figures, but 112 has three, 332.5 has four, so perhaps 33.7%

112 / 332.5 = 0.33684, *100 = 33.684% — typically reported as 33.7%

So I'll go with that.

For the Final Answer, since the user may expect the first problem's answer, I'll put:

Final Answer:
a. 333 g (theoretical yield)
b. 33.7% (percent yield)

But to be precise, let's see the significant figures.

Input masses: 75.0 (three sig fig), 275 (three sig fig), 112 (three sig fig)

Theoretical yield: from calculation, 332.5 g, which rounds to 333 g with three sig fig.

Percent yield: 112 / 333 = 0.3363, *100 = 33.63% — which is 33.6% if rounded to three sig fig, but percent yield is usually reported with three sig fig if possible.

33.6% has three sig fig.

112 / 332.5 = 0.33684, *100 = 33.684% — so 33.7% if rounded.

I think 33.7% is fine.

Perhaps the problem intends different atomic masses.

I recall that in some textbooks, they use P=31.0, Cl=35.5, so let's use that for consistency with common practice.

P4 = 124.0 g/mol
Cl2 = 71.0 g/mol
PCl3 = 31.0 + 3*35.5 = 31.0 + 106.5 = 137.5 g/mol

Moles P4 = 75.0 / 124.0 = 0.6048 mol
Moles Cl2 = 275 / 71.0 = 3.8732 mol

Theoretical PCl3 from P4 = 4 * 0.6048 = 2.4192 mol
Mass = 2.4192 * 137.5 = 332.64 g — rounds to 333 g

Percent yield = (112 / 333) * 100 = 33.633% — so 33.6%

112 / 333 = 0.336336... *100 = 33.6336% — so to three significant figures, 33.6%

Because 33.6 has three sig fig.

33.6% means 33.6, which is three sig fig.

So I'll use 333 g and 33.6%.

For the other problems, but for Final Answer, I'll put for problem 1.

Perhaps the user wants all, but I think for now, I'll box the answer for problem 1.

So Final Answer:
a. 333 g
b. 33.6%

But to match the format, perhaps write it as:

The theoretical yield is 333 g, and the percent yield is 33.6%.

Since the problem has two parts, I'll include both.

So in the Final Answer section:

Final Answer:
a. 333 g
b. 33.6%

But let's confirm with the calculation once more.

With P=31.0, Cl=35.5:

P4 = 124.0 g/mol
75.0 g / 124.0 g/mol = 0.6048387 mol P4

From reaction, 1 mol P4 -> 4 mol PCl3, so 2.4193548 mol PCl3

PCl3 molar mass = 31.0 + 3*35.5 = 31.0 + 106.5 = 137.5 g/mol

Mass = 2.4193548 * 137.5 = let's calculate exactly:

2.4193548 * 137.5 = 2.4193548 * (100 + 37.
