Chapter 9, Problem 66QAP

Solid copper can be produced by passing gaseous ammonia over solid copper (II) oxide al high temperatures.

e other products of the reaction are nitrogen gas and water Vapor. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

:math> 2 NH 3 ( g ) + 3 CuO ( s ) → N 2 ( g ) + 3 Cu ( s ) + 3 H 2 O ( g )

at is the theoretical yield of solid copper that should form when 18.1 g of ${\text{NH}}_3$, is reacted with 90.4 g of $\text{CuO}$? If only 45.3 g of copper is actually collected, what is the percent yield?
