An experiment was carried out to make potassium dichromate(VI) from chromium(III) potassium sulfate (chrome alum). 10.3 g of potassium dichromate(VI) were obtained from 51.4 g of chromium(III) potassium sulfate (chrome alum). Determine the percentage yield of potassium dichromate(VI). Determine the moles of chromium(III) potassium sulfate (chrome alum), KCr(SO4)2.12H₂O, used in the experiment. (To avoid introducing rounding errors on intermediate calculations, enter your answer to four significant figures.)

States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
