Question
Upon reaction of 1.27 g of copper sulfate with excess zinc metal, 0.328 g copper metal was obtained as an experimental result according to the equation:
CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) - Cu(s) + ZnS04(aq)
Before the experiment was carried out the theoretical yield calculation was completed to predict the maximum amount of copper that could be isolated. The answer was 0.506 g
of Cu.
What is the percent yield in standard notation?
[report your answer to the tenths place, i.e. one decimal place.]
