Chapter 3, Problem 3.11P

PRACTICE 3.11 Ethyl alcohol is prepared industrially by the react ion of ethylene, C₂H_4, with water. What is the percent yield of the reaction 4.6 g of ethylene gives 4.7 g of ethyl alcohol?

${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}\left(\text{g}\right)+{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(\text{l}\right)\to {\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}\text{O}\left(\text{l}\right)$
