Iron metal is reacted with hydrochloric acid to yield iron(II) chloride and hydrogen gas. A student reacts 7.54g of iron with 100.0 mL of 3.00M hydrochloric acid. He isolates 16.08g of the product.The balanced equation is  Fe + 2HCI--->FeCl2 + H2 a. Determine the percent yield of the reaction I know that percent yield is the (actual yield/theoretical yeild) x 100, I am having a hard time finding the theoretical yield.
