Chlorine gas can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of hydrochloric acid with manganese(IV) oxide. \[ 4 \mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{MnO}_{2}(\mathrm{~s}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{MnCl}_{2}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \] A sample of \( 36.9 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{MnO}_{2} \) is added to a solution containing \( 49.9 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{HCl} \). What is the limiting reactant? \[ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{HCl} \\ \mathrm{MnO}_{2} \end{array} \] What is the theoretical yield of \( \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \) ? theoretical yie Incorrect If the yield of the reaction is \( 84.3 \% \), what is the actual yield of chlorine?
