Nitrogen gas, N2, can be prepared by passing gaseous ammonia, NH3, over solid copper(II) oxide, CuO, at high temperatures.  The other products of the reaction are solid copper, Cu, and water vapour. In a certain experiment, a reaction mixture containing 11.0 g NH3 and 56.5 g CuO yields 1.4 g N2. Calculate the percent yield for this experiment.
