Explanation:

For Al_2O_3

Mass of Al_2O_3 = 4.07 g

Molar mass of Al_2O_3 = 101.96 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{4.07\ g}{101.96\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ Al_2O_3= 0.0399\ mol$

According to the reaction:

$Al_2O_3+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2O$

1 mole of Al_2O_3 on reaction produces 1 mole of Al_2(SO_4)_3

So,

0.0399 mole of Al_2O_3 on reaction produces 0.0399 mole of Al_2(SO_4)_3

Moles of Al_2(SO_4)_3 obtained = 0.0399 mole

Molar mass of Al_2(SO_4)_3 = 342.2 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.0399= \frac{Mass}{342.2\ g/mol}$

$Mass= 13.7\ g$

Theoretical yield = 13.7 g

The expression for the calculation of the percentage yield for a chemical reaction is shown below as:-

$\%\ yield =\frac {Experimental\ yield}{Theoretical\ yield}\times 100$

Given , Values from the question:-

Theoretical yield = 13.7 g

Experimental yield = 10.4 g

Applying the values in the above expression as:-

$\%\ yield =\frac{10.4}{13.7}\times 100$

% yield =76 %
