Answer:

65.21 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the percentage yield

We have this equation,

2no+o2 -->2no2

Such that 1500 kilograms/30grams

= Mno2/46

=1500/30 = mno2/46

We cross multiply from here

1500x46 = 30xMnO2

69000 = 30Mno2

69000/30 = MnO2

2300 = Mno2

The percentage yield would be

1500/2300 *100

= 0.6521 x 100

= 65.21%
