Lime, CaO, can be produced in two steps as shown in the equations below. If the percentage yield of the first step is 83.5% and the percentage yield of the second step is 71.4%, what is the expected overall percentage yield for producing CaO from CaCl2? CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O → CaCO3(s) + 2HCI(aq) CaCO3 + heat → CaO
