An industrial vat contains 650 grams of solid lead(II) chloride formed from a reaction of 870 grams of lead(II) nitrate with exc

ess hydrochloric acid. This is the equation of the reaction: 2HCl + Pb(NO3)2 → 2HNO3 + PbCl2. What is the percent yield of lead(II) chloride? The percent yield of lead chloride is %.

Answer:

88.98 %.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced equation:

<em>2HCl + Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2HNO₃ + PbCl₂</em>

  • It is clear that 1.0 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ reacts with 2.0 moles of HCl to produce 1.0 mole of PbCl₂ and 2.0 moles of HNO₃.
  • <em>The percent yield % of lead(II) chloride (PbCl₂) = [(actual yield) / (calculated yield)] x 100.</em>
  • The actual yield of lead(II) chloride (PbCl₂) = 650 g.
  • Now, we need to calculate the calculated yield of lead(II) chloride (PbCl₂).
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles (n) of lead(II) nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) (870 grams) using the relation: <em>n = mass / molar mass.</em>
  • n of lead(II) nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) = mass / molar mass = (870 g) / (331.2 g/mol) = 2.63 mol.
  • Since HCl is in excess, the limiting reactant is lead(II) nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂).

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ produces → 1.0 mole of PbCl₂, from the stichiometry.

∴ 2.63 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ produces → 2.63 mole of PbCl₂.

  • The mass of PbCl₂ produced (the calculated yield) = n x molar mass = (2.63 mol) (278.1 g/mol) = 730.52 g.

∴ The percent yield % of lead(II) chloride (PbCl₂) = [(actual yield) / (calculated yield)] x 100 = [(650 g) / (730.52)] x 100 = 88.98 %.

A student reduces the temperature from a 300 cm3 balloon from 60°C to 20°C. What will the new volume of the balloon be?
Naddika [18.5K]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1 

V2 = 293.15 x 300 / 333.15

V2 = 263.98 cm^3

Infer if the mineral Talc would be a good choice when building a statue outside?
ruslelena [56]
Talc is not a good choice when building a statue because the mineral Talc is one of the weakest minerals on the Mohs Scale with a hardness of 1 since it could be scratched by a fingernail, which means that when people build a statue with Talc, it could be easily broken down.

Over long periods of time, the climate of an area can change. Which of these can cause a change in climate?
Pie

Answer:

You didnt give use the choices you have but I can try to help. Climate can change when it snows,rains,when it is sunny,or cloudy.

Explanation:

The rain allows the climate to cool down depending in the weather out. Same with cloudy weather. Snow can also cause temperature to drop down. When it is sunny, the climate in the sun will be warm, until getting in the shade and it gets cold again.

Which explanation describes the last part of a chemical reaction?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Transition state falls apart to form products.

Explanation:

Reactants collide to form a transition state is actually the initial step (not the last step) because reactants have react with each other. Transition state is the middle stage, once this stage falls or passes, you get products. I have attached an example reaction scheme to better understand.
