Sara burns a candle. Candle wax (paraffin) has a chemical formula of C25H52. The combustion of the candle has the following equation:
C25H52 + 38 O2 = 25 CO2 + 26 H2O
After a few minutes, Sara puts the lid on the candle, and the flame goes out. Sara weighs the candle before and after the experiment. She discovered she has burned 1.4 grans of paraffin. If the expirement actually profuced 2.1 grams of water, what was the percent yield of water for this experiment?
