Answer:

The answer to your question is False.

Explanation:

Data

1 mole of NH₄NO₃

0.75 moles of N₂O

Percent yield = 25%

Chemical reaction

               NH₄NO₃   ⇒   N₂O  +  2H₂O

Process

1.- Determine the theoretical yield

              1 mol NH₄NO₃ ------------- 1 mol of N₂O

2.- Calculate the percent yield

             Percent yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield  x 100

-Substitution

              Percent yield = 0.75 / 1 x 100

-Simplification

              Percent yield = 0.75 x 100

-Result

              Percent yield = 75%

Conclusion

False, the actual percent yield is 75%
