**Transcription for Educational Website:**

**Text:**

Gaseous butane \((\text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_2 \text{CH}_3)\) 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 24.0 g of water is produced from the reaction of 36.04 g of butane and 230.8 g of oxygen gas, calculate the percent yield of water.

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it.
