Upon reaction of 1.27 g of copper sulfate with excess zinc metal, 0.351 g copper metal was obtained as an experimental result according to the equation: CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) → Cu(s) + ZNSO4(aq) Before the experiment was carried out the theoretical yield calculation was completed to predict the maximum amount of copper that could be isolated. The answer was 0.506 g of Cu. What is the percent yield in standard notation? [report your answer to the tenths place, i.e. one decimal place.]
