Production records for a heat-resistant pigment give the following data.
| Process | Data |
|---|---|
| Production of the intermediate | Theoretical yield = 48.0 kg; mass collected = 39.6 kg |
| Conversion of the intermediate into pigment | Percentage yield = 72.0% |
The whole mass of intermediate collected is used in the conversion.
Calculate the overall percentage yield of the pigment.
