glucose to ethanol reaction
I need extreme help in chemistry!!!!!!!!!! does anyone out there think they can help?

In alcohol fermentation yeasts converts glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide: C6H12O6—>2C2H5OH+2CO2
If 5.8 grams of glucose are reacted and 1.44L of CO2 gas are collected at 293K and .984atm, whats the percent yield of the reaction?
PV=nRT
If you could show work itd be really heplful thank you so much!!

moles glucose = 5.8 g /180 g/mol=0.0322
theoretical moles CO2 = 0.0322 x 2 = 0.0644
actual moles CO2 = 0.984 x 1.44 / 0.08206x 293=0.0589
% = 0.0589 x 100/ 0.0644=91.5
