**Chemical Reaction and Percent Yield Calculation**

**Problem Statement:**

A reaction of 49.3 g of Na (sodium) and 41.1 g of Br₂ (bromine) yields 43.0 g of NaBr (sodium bromide). What is the percent yield?

**Chemical Equation:**

\[ 2 \text{Na (s)} + \text{Br}_2 \text{(g)} \rightarrow 2 \text{NaBr (s)} \]

**Calculation Required:**

Determine the percent yield for the reaction.

**Percent Yield Formula:**

\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100\% \]

**Input Box:**

There is an input box provided where you can enter the calculated percent yield value.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The reaction is as follows:

2Na + Br2 --------->2NaBr.

The mass of Na  used in the reaction = 49.3 g

The mass of Br2 used in the reaction = 41.1 g.

The actual yield of NaBr = 43.0 g.
