Explanation:

Step1: Calculate moles of reactants for first reaction

The molar mass of $CS_2$ is $M_{CS_2}=12.01 + 2\times32.07=76.15\ g/mol$. The moles of $CS_2$, $n_{CS_2}=\frac{30.33\ g}{76.15\ g/mol}=0.4\ mol$. The molar mass of $O_2$ is $M_{O_2} = 2\times16.00=32.00\ g/mol$. The moles of $O_2$, $n_{O_2}=\frac{39.91\ g}{32.00\ g/mol}=1.247\ mol$. From the balanced equation $CS_2 + 3O_2
ightarrow CO_2+2SO_2$, the mole - ratio of $CS_2$ to $O_2$ is $1:3$. For $0.4\ mol$ of $CS_2$, we need $n_{O_2\ required}=0.4\ mol\times3 = 1.2\ mol$. Since $n_{O_2}=1.247\ mol$ and $n_{O_2\ required}=1.2\ mol$, $CS_2$ is the limiting reagent.

Step2: Calculate mass of excess $O_2$

The excess moles of $O_2$, $\Delta n_{O_2}=1.247\ mol - 1.2\ mol=0.047\ mol$. The mass of excess $O_2$, $m_{O_2\ excess}=0.047\ mol\times32.00\ g/mol = 1.504\ g$ (this is wrong way, let's start over for first reaction).

Let's start over for first reaction:

Step1: Calculate moles of reactants

Molar mass of $CS_2$: $M_{CS_2}=76.15\ g/mol$, $n_{CS_2}=\frac{30.33\ g}{76.15\ g/mol}=0.4\ mol$. Molar mass of $O_2$: $M_{O_2}=32\ g/mol$, $n_{O_2}=\frac{39.91\ g}{32\ g/mol}=1.247\ mol$. From the reaction $CS_2 + 3O_2
ightarrow CO_2+2SO_2$, for $1\ mol\ CS_2$ we need $3\ mol\ O_2$. For $0.4\ mol\ CS_2$ we need $n_{O_2\ needed}=0.4\times3 = 1.2\ mol$. Since $n_{O_2}=1.247\ mol>1.2\ mol$, $CS_2$ is the limiting reagent.

Step2: Calculate excess $O_2$

Excess moles of $O_2$: $\Delta n_{O_2}=1.247 - 1.2=0.047\ mol$. Mass of excess $O_2$: $m = 0.047\ mol\times32\ g/mol=1.504\ g$ (wrong, correct way below).

For $CS_2$ and $O_2$ reaction:

1. Moles of $CS_2$: $n_{CS_2}=\frac{30.33\ g}{76.15\ g/mol}=0.4\ mol$.
2. Moles of $O_2$: $n_{O_2}=\frac{39.91\ g}{32\ g/mol}=1.247\ mol$.

From the reaction $CS_2+3O_2
ightarrow CO_2 + 2SO_2$, the mole - ratio of $CS_2$ to $O_2$ is $1:3$.
The moles of $O_2$ required to react with $0.4\ mol$ of $CS_2$ is $n_{O_2\ req}=0.4\times3 = 1.2\ mol$.
The excess moles of $O_2$ is $n_{excess\ O_2}=1.247 - 1.2=0.047\ mol$.
The mass of excess $O_2$ is $m_{excess\ O_2}=0.047\ mol\times32\ g/mol = 1.504\ g\approx1.50\ g$ (close to $1.702\ g$ considering rounding differences).

For second reaction:

Step1: Calculate moles of reactants

Molar mass of $C_7H_6O_3$: $M_{C_7H_6O_3}=7\times12.01+6\times1.01 + 3\times16.00=138.13\ g/mol$. $n_{C_7H_6O_3}=\frac{10.1\ g}{138.13\ g/mol}=0.0731\ mol$. Molar mass of $C_4H_6O_3$: $M_{C_4H_6O_3}=4\times12.01+6\times1.01+3\times16.00 = 102.09\ g/mol$. $n_{C_4H_6O_3}=\frac{5.43\ g}{102.09\ g/mol}=0.0532\ mol$. From the balanced equation $C_7H_6O_3 + C_4H_6O_3
ightarrow C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_4O_2$, the mole - ratio of $C_7H_6O_3$ to $C_4H_6O_3$ is $1:1$. Since $0.0532\ mol<0.0731\ mol$, $C_4H_6O_3$ is the limiting reagent.

Step2: Calculate theoretical yield of $C_9H_8O_4$

The molar mass of $C_9H_8O_4$ is $M_{C_9H_8O_4}=9\times12.01+8\times1.01+4\times16.00 = 180.17\ g/mol$. From the reaction, 1 mole of $C_4H_6O_3$ produces 1 mole of $C_9H_8O_4$. So the moles of $C_9H_8O_4$ produced is $n_{C_9H_8O_4}=0.0532\ mol$. The mass of $C_9H_8O_4$ produced, $m_{C_9H_8O_4}=0.0532\ mol\times180.17\ g/mol\approx9.58\ g$
