Question
The image is a chemistry problem related to percent yield. It presents the following text:

---

"The percent yield for the reaction is 87.2%. How many grams of the precipitate are formed?"

There is a text box for input labeled "precipitate formed:" with units in grams (g), followed by a label stating "Incorrect."

---

"Taking into account the percent yield, how many grams of the excess reactant (the reactant that is not limiting) remain?"

Another text box for input is labeled "excess reactant remaining:" with units in grams (g), also followed by a label stating "Incorrect."

---

There are no graphs or diagrams in the image.

### Chemical Reaction Example

**Scenario:**  
An aqueous solution containing 9.83 g of lead(II) nitrate is added to an aqueous solution containing 6.94 g of potassium chloride.

**Task:**  
Enter the balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Be sure to include all physical states.

**Balanced Chemical Equation:**  
\[ \text{Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2\text{(aq) + 2KCl(aq) → PbCl}_2\text{(s) + 2KNO}_3\text{(aq)} \]

**Question:**  
What is the limiting reactant?

- ○ potassium chloride
- ● lead(II) nitrate (selected)

**Explanation:**  
This example illustrates a typical chemical reaction between lead(II) nitrate and potassium chloride. The reaction forms lead(II) chloride as a solid precipitate and potassium nitrate remains in aqueous solution. Determining the limiting reactant is essential to find out which reactant will be completely consumed first, stopping the reaction.
