Q - What is the % yield of H2O if 138 g H2O is produced from 16
g H2 and excess O2?
Step 1: write the balanced chemical equation
2H2 + O2  2H2O
Step 2: determine actual and theoretical yield. Actual is given,
theoretical is calculated:
# g H2O=
16 g H2 x 1 mol H2 x 2 mol H2O x
2.02 g H2
2 mol H2
18.02 g H2O
