The theoretical yield is 204.4 g while the percent yield is 2.57%.
<h3>What is theoretical yield?</h3>
Theoretical yield is the amount of product obtained based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
S8(s) + 8 Na2SO3(aq) + 40 H2O(l) --->8 Na2S2O3·5 H2O(s)
Number of moles of sulfur = 3.25 g /8(32) = 0.013 moles
Number of moles of sodium sulfite = 13.1 g/126 g/mol = 0.103 moles
Since 1 moles of sulfur reacts with 8 moles of sodium sulfite
0.013 moles reacts with 0.013 moles × 8 moles /1 mole = 0.104 moles
There is not enough sodium sulfite hence it is the limiting reactant.
1 mole of sodium sulfite yields 8 moles of product
0.103 moles of sodium sulfite yields 0.103 moles × 8 moles /1 mole = 0.824 moles
Mass of product = 0.824 moles × 248 g/mol = 204.4 g
percent yield = 5.26 g /204.4 g × 100/1
= 2.57%

Answer:
Option-D : <span>Decrease the velocities of the particles, and decrease the space between the particles.
Explanation:
The solid state of matter is composed of particles closely packed with a minimum space between them. This closed packing of particles occur due to strong interatomic or intermolecular interactions between particles. Therefore, solids particles have zero translational and rotational motions and only show vibrational motions. So, decrease in velocity and decrease in space between particles is the right answer for making solids.</span>
