Sorry, you're wrong! Better luck next time!
The answer was: 75.5%
To answer this question, you use the mass ratio from the balanced equation to determine the theoretical yield.
theoretical yield of H2O:(mass of H2O)/(mass of O2)*given mass
54.06/160*63.8=21.6
The percent yield is determined as follows:
(actual/theory)*100=%yield
(16.3/21.6)*100=75.5%
