<span>Step 1 is to determine the mass of each part
Mass of Ca is 40.08 g
Mass of C is 12.01 g
Mass of O is 16.00 x 3 = 48.00 g
Step 2 is to determine the total mass of the compound
Total mass of CaCO3 is 40.08 + 12.01 + 48.00 = 100.09 g
Step 3 is to determine the % of each part using the following formula:
Mass of part / total mass x 100 =
40.08 / 100.09 x 100 = 40.04 % Ca
12.01 / 100.09 x 100 = 12.00 % C
48.00 / 100.09 x 100 = 47.96 % O
Step 4 is to double check by adding all percentages. If they equal 100, then I probably did it right. :)
40.04
+12.00
+47.96
=100.00</span><span>

Answer:
Explanation:
Percent yield is a ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. It is found using this formula:
The actual yield is 12 liters, because that was actually produced in the lab.
The theoretical yield is 20 liters, because that was the expected yield.
For this reaction, the percent yield is 60%.
