Solution

The percent yield is calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

Here's how you can calculate it:

Step 1: Identify the actual yield and the theoretical yield. In this case, the actual yield is 2.6 kg and the theoretical yield is 3.4 kg.

Step 2: Divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield. 2.6 kg / 3.4 kg = 0.7647 (rounded to four decimal places)

Step 3: Multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage. 0.7647 * 100 = 76.47%

So, the percent yield of the H2SO4 process is 76.47%.
