Answer is: the percent yield for the reaction is 84,2%.

Chemical reaction: 2Na + O₂ → Na₂O₂.

m (Na) = 3,74 g.

n (Na) = m (Na) : M (Na).

n (Na) = 3,74 g : 23 g/mol.

n (Na) = 0,162 mol.

From chemical reaction: n (Na) : n (Na₂O₂) = 2 : 1.

n (Na₂O₂) = 0,162 mol : 2 = 0,081 mol.

m (Na₂O₂) = 0,081 mol · 78 g/mol.

m (Na₂O₂) = 6,341 g.

yield of reaction = 5,34 g / 6,341 g · 100%.

yield of reaction = 84,2%.
