Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Pb = 451.4 g

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g/mole

Molar mass of PbO = 223 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Pb.

\text{ Moles of }Pb=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Pb}{\text{ Molar mass of }Pb}=\frac{451.4g}{207g/mole}=2.18moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of PbO

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Pb(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2PbO(s)

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Pb react to give 2 mole of PbO

So, 2.18 mole of Pb react to give 2.18 mole of PbO

Now we have to calculate the mass of PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=\text{ Moles of }PbO\times \text{ Molar mass of }PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=(2.18moles)\times (223g/mole)=486.1g

Theoretical yield of PbO = 486.1 g

Experimental yield of PbO = 367.5 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }PbO}{\text{ Theoretical yield of }PbO}\times 100

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{367.5g}{486.1g}\times 100=75.6\%

Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %

What are the period and group trends in electronegativities
Leviafan [203]

Electronegativity of an element decreases as we move down a group on the periodic table and electronegativity increases while moving from left to right across a period on the periodic table.

Explanation:

  • The electronegativity increases as we move from left to right across a period because from left to right across a period, the nuclear charge is increasing Hence the attraction for the valence electrons also increases.
  • As we move down a group, the atoms of each element have an increasing number of energy levels. The distance between the nucleus and valence electron shell increases and reduces the attraction for valence electrons. Hence electronegativity decreases as we move from top to bottom down a group.

How does heat affect the motion of atoms?
Black_prince [1.1K]
Due to heat , the kinetic energy of the atoms in the substance increases due to which they start vibrating vigorously and the inter-molecular attraction decreases and the substance increases in volume. For example, on boiling water...heat energy imparted makes the volume increase and finally turn into steam or water vapour in air.(The inter-molecular space in air is more than that in water.)
