Heating 24.8g of copper carbonate (CuCO3) in a crucible produced only 13.9g of copper oxide (CuO). What is the percentage yield of copper oxide?

Heating 24.8g of copper carbonate (CuCO3) in a crucible produced only 13.9g of copper oxide (CuO). What is the percentage yield of copper oxide?

Explanation

Percentage yield is calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100. 

Percentage Yield =Actual Yield/Theoretical Yield× 100
