Question

Gaseous butane CH3CH22CH3 reacts with gaseous oxygen gas O2 to produce gaseous carbon dioxide CO2 and gaseous water H2O. If 23.9g of carbon dioxide is produced from the reaction of 9.88g of butane and 47.4g of oxygen gas, calculate the percent yield of carbon dioxide. Round your answer to 3 significant figures.
