    98.9%

    Explanation:

    2 moles of I₂ are required for each mole of Mg, so the reaction is limited by the available I₂. The 3.56 moles of I₂ should react with 1.78 moles of Mg to produce 1.78 moles of MgI₂. Instead, we get 1.76 moles of MgI₂.

    The yield is 1.76/1.78 * 100% ≈ 98.876%

    The yield is 98.9% of the quantity expected based on available reactants.
