Interpretation:

The actual yield of nitrogen dioxide in the reaction of an excess of nitrogen monoxide with $5.74\text{g}$ of oxygen when the percentage yield of nitrogen dioxide is $80.2\%$ 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.

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