Question
**Percent Yield of Chemical Reactions**

Liquid hexane \((\text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_4\text{CH}_3)\) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas \((\text{O}_2)\) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide \((\text{CO}_2)\) and gaseous water \((\text{H}_2\text{O})\). If 1.63 g of water is produced from the reaction of 6.03 g of hexane and 10.9 g of oxygen gas, calculate the percent yield of water.

Round your answer to 3 significant figures.

**Answer Box:**

\[ \text{Percent yield: } \_\_\% \]

**Buttons:**

- **X**: Possibly indicates clearing the input.
- **Check**: For submitting the answer.

**Note:** The problem asks for the calculation of percent yield based on the given amounts of reactants and the observed amount of product.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Chemical reactions occur according to the stoichiometry of the reactants. The reactant which is present in lesser amount is called limiting reagent. Limiting reagent guides the amount of the product formed.
