Question

Ethanol (molar mass = 46 g/mol) can be dehydrated to yield ethene (molar mass = 28 g/mol) by heating it with an excess of concentrated sulfuric acid (acting as a catalyst).

CH₃CH₂OH → CH₂=CH₂ + H₂O

If 10.44 g of ethanol produced 4.65 g of ethene, the percentage yield of the product is:

(Enter your answer to two significant figures.)
