Since we already have the balanced equation, we know that the ratio between
is
respectively.
So then we can set up a proportion to find the number of moles produced when 2.90 moles of Na react completely:

Then we cross multiply and solve for x:


Therefore, we know that when 2.90 moles of Na react completely, there are 1.45 moles of
that are produced.
To answer this item, we assume that oxygen behaves ideally such that it is able to fulfill the following equation,
PV = nRT
If we are to retain constant the variable n and V.
The percent yield can therefore be solved through the following calculation,
n = (10.5 L)/(22.4 L) x 100%
Simplifying,
n = 46.875%
Answer: 48.87%
