If 4.76 g of sodium carbonate is recovered from the decomposition of 1.86 g of sodium bicarbonate, what is the percent yield of the reaction? (Note:  I messed up on this problem and the percent yield will be unrealistically large.  You can still solve it but will get a number much larger than I intended.) 2 NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
