When lead (II) nitrate reacts with sodium iodide, sodium nitrate and lead (II) iodide are formed. The balanced chemical equation is: Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 NaI (aq) -  PbI2 (s) + 2 NaNO3 (aq)  If, during this reaction, 23.2 grams of lead (II) nitrate is mixed with 16.8 grams of sodium iodide, Calculate the theoretical yield of lead(II) iodide (provide your answer to the appropriate number of significant figures).
