Strategy:
 Identify the limiting reagent in the reaction of Calcium Carbonate with Hydrochloric acid. The yield of Calcium Chloride is controlled by the limiting species.

Step 1: Calculate moles of reactants
- Moles of .
- Moles of .

Step 2: Determine Limiting Reagent
Ratio: .
To react all  of , only  of  is needed.
Since we have  of ,  is the limiting reagent.

Step 3: Calculate yield of Calcium Chloride
2 moles of  mole of .
