Question

Ammonium nitrate is used in explosives and is produced from the reaction of ammonia and nitric acid. If 15 kg of ammonia give an actual yield of 65.3 kg of ammonium nitrate, what is the percent yield? The calculated yield of ammonium nitrate for the experiment is 70.6kg.
actual yield (AY)= 65.3 kg
calculated = theoretical yield (TY)= 70.6 kg.
%yield = (AY/TY)100 = ?
