Answer:


Y=10\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, whereas it is given both the theoretical and actual yield of copper metal, which are 86.04 g and 8.7 g respectively.

Next, since the percent yield is given by:


Y=(actual)/(theoretical)*100\%

Next, we plug in the aforementioned yields to obtain:


Y=(8.7g)/(86.04g)*100\%\\\\Y=10\%

Regards!
