Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percentage yield when the reaction of $4.14\text{g}$ of butane produces $11.0\text{g}$ of carbon dioxide is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The stoichiometry of a chemical species involved in a chemical reaction represents the number of chemical species involved in the chemical reaction. The stoichiometry of a chemical species helps in calculating the expected mass of reactant and product. The stoichiometry of a chemical species is also represented by number of moles. The number of moles of a substance is given by the expression shown below.

$n=\frac{m}{M}$
