In order to determine the percent yield of calcium nitride ([tex]\(Ca_3N_2\)[/tex]) for the given chemical reaction:
[tex]\[3 Ca (s) + N_2 (g) \rightarrow Ca_3N_2 (s)\][/tex]
we interpret the provided information.
The percent yield is given to us directly, representing the efficiency of the reaction in forming [tex]\(Ca_3N_2\)[/tex]. The formula for percent yield is typically:
[tex]\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left(\frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\right) \times 100\% \][/tex]
Here, the percent yield is specified as:
[tex]\[ 44.54\% \][/tex]
Thus, the percent yield of [tex]\( Ca_3N_2 \)[/tex] in this reaction is:
[tex]\[ 44.54\% \][/tex]
There are no further calculations required, and this value indicates how much product was obtained in comparison to the maximum possible amount predicted by stoichiometry.
