How do I solve this
![**Chemical Reactions and Yield Calculation**
The following series of reactions were carried out:
1. \( \text{PbCO}_3(s) + 2\text{HNO}_3(aq) \rightarrow \text{Pb(NO}_3)_2(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{CO}_2(g) \)
2. \( \text{Pb(NO}_3)_2(aq) + 2\text{HCl}(aq) \rightarrow 2\text{HNO}_3(aq) + \text{PbCl}_2(s) \)
---
**Problem (a):**
If a student starts with 2.871 g of lead(II) carbonate (\( \text{PbCO}_3 \)) for the first reaction and all other reagents are added in excess, what is the theoretical yield of lead(II) chloride (\( \text{PbCl}_2 \)) solid?
**Problem (b):**
If the student isolates 2.385 g of lead(II) chloride, what is the percent yield?
---
### Explanation
To solve these problems, you will need to convert between moles and grams using molar masses and apply stoichiometry to determine theoretical and percent yields.
For **Problem (a)**, calculate the moles of \( \text{PbCO}_3 \) and use the stoichiometry of the given reactions to find the moles and then the grams of \( \text{PbCl}_2 \). This gives you the theoretical yield.
For **Problem (b)**, use the actual yield (2.385 g of \( \text{PbCl}_2 \)) and the theoretical yield from Problem (a) to determine the percent yield using the formula:
\[
\text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100
