This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Aqueous sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) reacts with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqueous sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) and liquid water (H₂O) . If 12.5 g of water is produced from the reaction of 72.6 g of sulfuric acid and 77.0 g of sodium hydroxide, calculate the percent yield of water. Round your answer in significant figures.

The percent yield of water is, 46.8 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of H_2SO_4 = 72.6 g

Mass of NaOH = 77.0 g

Molar mass of H_2SO_4 = 98 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of H_2SO_4 and NaOH .

$\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=\frac{\text{Given mass }H_2SO_4}{\text{Molar mass }H_2SO_4}$

$\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=\frac{72.6g}{98g/mol}=0.741mol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }NaOH=\frac{\text{Given mass }NaOH}{\text{Molar mass }NaOH}$

$\text{Moles of }NaOH=\frac{77.0g}{40g/mol}=1.925mol$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of H_2SO_4 react with 2 mole of NaOH

So, 0.741 moles of H_2SO_4 react with $0.741\times 2=1.482$ moles of NaOH

From this we conclude that, NaOH is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and H_2SO_4 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of H_2O

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of H_2SO_4 react to give 2 mole of H_2O

So, 0.741 moles of H_2SO_4 react to give $0.741\times 2=1.482$ moles of H_2O

Now we have to calculate the mass of H_2O

$\text{ Mass of }H_2O=\text{ Moles of }H_2O\times \text{ Molar mass of }H_2O$

Molar mass of H_2O = 18 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }H_2O=(1.482moles)\times (18g/mole)=26.68g$

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of water.

$\text{Percent yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Percent yield}=\frac{12.5g}{26.68g}\times 100=46.8\%$

Thus, the percent yield of water is, 46.8 %

Answer from: Quest

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of rain or snow. this dry air produces a rain shadow.
