Ethanol,

\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}

, can be made from ethene,

\text{C}_2\text{H}_4

, using the following reaction:

\text{C}_2\text{H}_4(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(\text{g})

It was found that 10.0 g of ethene produced 14.6 g of ethanol. Calculate the percentage yield.
