Percent yield of chemical reactions Liquid hexane ($CH_3(CH_2)_4CH_3$) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas ($O_2$) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and gaseous water ($H_2O$). If 2.77 g of carbon dioxide is produced from the reaction of 3.4 g of hexane and 4.5 g of oxygen gas, calculate the percent yield of carbon dioxide. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it.

Gaseous butane (CH3(CH2)2CH3) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (O2) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H2O). What is the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide formed from the reaction of 29.6 g of butane and 142 g of oxygen gas? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it.
