Use the equation below to solve the problem that follows. 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (g)

When David reacts 13.8 grams of hydrogen gas with excess oxygen, 87.0 grams of water are formed. Calculate his percent yield of water.

Percent yield = 70%

Percent yield is the comparison of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

Reaction

2H₂ (g) + O₂ (g) → 2H₂O (g)
