Can you please help me with question 3. 

**Percent Yield:**

**Percent yield** is a measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction and is defined as the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage. 

The *theoretical yield* of an experiment is the amount of product calculated from a stoichiometry problem after identifying the limiting reactant. However, when doing an experiment there are many opportunities for error such that the *actual yield*, the amount obtained in the lab after the chemical reaction occurred, is different from the theoretical yield. The difference in the actual and theoretical yield can be written as a percent ratio, *percent yield*.

\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

- **Actual Yield** is the quantity of product actually obtained from a reaction.
- **Theoretical Yield** is the quantity of product expected based on stoichiometric calculations.

### For the following problems, identify the limiting reactant and calculate the percent yield.

1. **In an experiment, the actual yield was 3.26 grams and the theoretical yield was 3.42 grams. What was the percent yield?**
   
   \[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{3.26 \, \text{g}}{3.42 \, \text{g}} \right) \times 100 = 95.32\% \]

2. **A reaction between 2.1 L of Carbon dioxide and 6.7 g of Calcium hydroxide produces Calcium Carbonate and water. However, when the experiment was done in the lab, scientists only measured a production of 9.11 grams of Calcium Carbonate.**

   \[ \text{CO}_2 (\text{g}) + \text{Ca}(\text{OH})_2 (\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{CaCO}_3 (\text{s}) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (\text{l}) \]

3. **Calcium carbonate can react with sulfuric acid to produce Calcium sulfate, water, and Carbon dioxide. 54.1 g CaCO₃ and 42.4 g H₂SO₄ react together and produce 59.2 g Calcium Sulfate.**

   \[ \text{CaCO}_3 (\text{s}) +
