Final answer:
To determine the percent yield, you need to know both the actual yield and the theoretical yield of the chemical reaction, which is not provided in the student’s question. Without the theoretical yield, it is not possible to calculate the percent yield.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent yield of a chemical reaction, you need the actual yield and the theoretical yield. The percent yield is calculated using the formula:
- Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100%.
To provide a specific answer, we would need the theoretical yield for the reaction producing carbon dioxide. However, without this information given in the question, we cannot calculate the percent yield.
You would need to reference the expected amount of carbon dioxide that would be produced under ideal conditions (theoretical yield) using the stoichiometry of the balanced equation for the reaction.
Once you have both actual and theoretical yields, plug them into the percent yield formula to obtain the answer.
