This is a limiting reagent problem. How do I know that. Because BOTH reactants are given. What we do with these is to solve them as a simple stoichiometry problem but do it twice, once for the first reagent and once for the second one. Then we take the correct value of the product as the SMALLER value of the two. Here is a step by step procedure for working a simple stoichiometry problem.

2.62g
Jen, I know 2.62g is NOT the answer. That is what I came up with as well but it is incorrect.
