A student performed the copper cycle experiment, starting with 0.8390 g of copper solid. After dissolving the copper in nitric acid, precipitating the copper (II) hydroxide with base, decomposing the copper (II) hydroxide into copper (II) oxide, re-dissolving the copper with sulfuric acid, and finally precipitating pure copper with zinc, she washed and dried the pure copper product. The mass of copper she obtained 0.3560 g. What is her percent yield? Answer as percent without units. For example, if your answer is 5.2%, enter "5.2"
