consider the following balanced equation.

N2O4(l) + 2 N2H4(l)  →  3 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g)

Determine the theoretical yield  in gram of nitrogen, N, that can be formed from  60.0 g N2O4 and  55.0 g N2H4  ?

If the actual experimental yield for N2 is 37.2 g, what is the percent yield of N2?

Some possibly useful molar masses are as follows:  N2O4 = 92.02 g/mol, N2H4 = 32.05 g/mol, N2 = 28.00 g/mol

(Hint: the theoretical yield is determined from the limiting reactant. So, you have to find how much gram of N2 is produced from 50.0 g of N2O2 and how much gram of N2 is produced from 45.0 g of N2H4.  The one, either the N2O4 or N2H4 , produces the least gram of N2 is called the limiting reactant and the amount of N2 produced  from the limiting reactant is called  the theoretical yield.   Finally, % yield = (Actual / theoretical) x 100 =
