**Chemical Reaction and Percent Yield Calculation**

**Problem:**

Aqueous hydrobromic acid \((\text{HBr})\) reacts with solid sodium hydroxide \((\text{NaOH})\) to produce aqueous sodium bromide \((\text{NaBr})\) and liquid water \((\text{H}_2\text{O})\). 

If 1.90 g of water is produced from the reaction of 35.6 g of hydrobromic acid and 7.39 g of sodium hydroxide, calculate the percent yield of water.

Round your answer to 3 significant figures.

**[ Input Box ]%**

**[ Calculation Button ]**

**Instructions:**

1. Use stoichiometry to determine the theoretical yield of water.
2. Use the formula for percent yield: 

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

3. Input your answer as a percentage in the provided box and press the calculation button to check your results.

This problem helps you understand the application of stoichiometry in real reactions and the concept of percent yield in chemistry.
