**Preparation of Chlorine Gas via Reaction of Hydrochloric Acid and Manganese(IV) Oxide**

Chlorine gas can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of hydrochloric acid with manganese(IV) oxide, as described by the following chemical equation:

\[ 4 \text{HCl (aq)} + \text{MnO}_2 \text{(s)} \rightarrow \text{MnCl}_2 \text{(aq)} + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O (l)} + \text{Cl}_2\text{(g)} \]

A sample of 38.1 g of \(\text{MnO}_2\) is added to a solution containing 44.3 g of \(\text{HCl}\).

**Limiting Reactant Determination**

Which of the following is the limiting reactant?

- \(\text{HCl}\)
- \(\text{MnO}_2\)

**Theoretical Yield Calculation**

What is the theoretical yield of \(\text{Cl}_2\)?

- **Theoretical yield:** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ g \(\text{Cl}_2\)

**Actual Yield Calculation**

If the yield of the reaction is 76.3%, what is the actual yield of chlorine?

- **Actual yield:** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ g \(\text{Cl}_2\)
