Chapter 4, Problem 73E

Uranium can be isolated from its ores by dissolving it as ${\text{UO}}_2{\left({\text{NO}}_3\right)}_2$, then separating it as solid ${\text{UO}}_2\left({\text{C}}_2{\text{O}}_4\right)\cdot 3{\text{H}}_2\text{O}$. Addition of 0.4031 g of sodium oxalate, ${\text{Na}}_2{\text{C}}_2{\text{O}}_4$, to a solution containing 1.481 g of uranyl nitrate, ${\text{UO}}_2{\left({\text{NO}}_3\right)}_2$, yields 1.073 g of solid ${\text{UO}}_2\left({\text{C}}_2{\text{O}}_4\right)\cdot 3{\text{H}}_2\text{O}$.

${\text{Na}}_2{\text{C}}_2{\text{O}}_4+{\text{UO}}_2{\left({\text{NO}}_3\right)}_2+3{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\to {\text{UO}}_2\left({\text{C}}_2{\text{O}}_4\right)\cdot 3{\text{H}}_2\text{O}+2{\text{NaNO}}_3$

Determine the limiting reactant and the percent yield of this reaction.
