Answer:
Mass PbCl₂ = 50.24g
Mass AgCl = 14.84g
Explanation:
The addition of Cl⁻ ions from the KCl solution results in the precipitation of AgCl and PbCl₂ as follows:
Ag⁺ + Cl⁻ → AgCl(s)
Pb²⁺ + 2Cl⁻ → PbCl₂(s)
If we define X as mass of PbCl₂, moles of Cl⁻ from PbCl₂ are:
Xg × (1mol PbCl₂/ 278.1g) × (2moles Cl⁻ / 1 mole PbCl₂) = <em>0.00719X moles of Cl⁻ from PbCl₂</em>
<em />
And mass of AgCl will be 65.08g-X. Moles of Cl⁻ from AgCl is:
(65.08g-Xg) × (1mol AgCl/ 143.32g) × (1mole Cl⁻ / 1 mole AgCl) = <em>0.45409 - 0.00698X moles of Cl⁻ from AgCl</em>
<em />
Moles of Cl⁻ that were added in the KCl solution are:
0.242L × (1.92mol KCl / L) × (1mole Cl⁻ / 1 mole KCl) = 0.46464 moles of Cl⁻ added.
<em />
Moles Cl⁻(AgCl) + Moles Cl⁻(PbCl₂) = Moles Cl⁻(added)
0.45409 - 0.00698X moles + (0.00719X moles) = 0.46464 moles
0.45409 + 0.00021X = 0.46464
0.00021X = 0.01055
X = 0.01055 / 0.00021
X = 50.24g
As X = Mass PbCl₂
<h3>Mass PbCl₂ = 50.24g</h3>
And mass of AgCl = 65.08 - 50.24
<h3>Mass AgCl = 14.84g</h3>
