Answer: the percent yield of water in this reaction is approximately 71.3% (rounded to 3 significant figures).
Explanation:
write the Balanced Chemical Equation: The balanced equation for the reaction is: [ C_2H_6 (g) + 3O_2 (g) --> 2CO_2 (g) + 3H_2O (g) ]
we need to find the theoretical yield of water (the maximum amount that can be produced). The molar mass of ethane ((C_2H_6)) is 30.07 g/mol, and the molar mass of water ((H_2O)) is 18.02 g/mol.
the actual yield of water is given as 33.0 g. and then calculate the percent yield
hope this helps ^^
