Answer:

53kg is the expected yield of lead

Explanation:

Firstly, in order to solve this question, we need to write the equation of reaction correctly. This is as follows:

PbO(s) + C(s) ---> Pb(l) + CO(g)

We proceed from here. We should get the limiting reactant but this can only be obtained by getting the number of moles of each reactant present.

The formula to use across all boards is that the number of moles is the mass of each of the reactant divided by the molar mass of each of the reactant.

For PBO, mass is 57kg = 57000g

Molar mass of PBO = 223.20g/mol

The number of moles is thus 57,000/223.2 = 255.37 moles

For carbon, mass is also 57kg = 57000g

Molar mass is 12g/mol

Number of moles of carbon = 57000/12 = 4750 moles

From the number of moles, we can see that the number of moles of Carbon is greater than that of PbO. This means that PbO is the limiting reagent.

Hence we use it to calculate percentage yield.

The number of moles of lead formed is the same of number of moles of lead oxide = 255.37 since we have mole ratio of 1 to 1

The molar mass of lead is 207.20g/mol

The mass of lead formed is = moles of lead formed * molar mass of lead = 207.20 * 255.37 = 52,912g which is approximately 53kg

Hence the expected yield is 53kg

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

Substance = NaCl

moles of NaCl = 49

volume = 150 ml

Process

Molarity is a unit of concentration that makes a relation of the moles of a substance and the volume.

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

1.- Convert 150 ml to L

                  1000 ml ------------------ 1 L

                     150 ml -----------------  x

                      x = (150 x 1) / 1000

                      x = 0.15 L

2.- Substitution

Molarity = 49 / 0.15

Molarity = 326. 7

I have a doubt if the number of moles is 49 moles or 49μmoles

Consider the following chemical reaction:
jolli1 [7]

From the calculation, the moles of water produced is 18 moles of water.

<h3>What is a decomposition reaction?</h3>

A decomposition reaction is one in which a substance is split up into smaller parts.

We have the reaction; 2 Cr(OH)3(aq) ------------> Cr2O3(s) + 3H2O(l)

From this reaction;

2 moles of  Cr(OH)3 produced 3 moles of water

12 moles of  Cr(OH)3 will produce;

12 moles  *  3 moles / 2moles

= 18 moles of water

Hence, 12 moles of chromium (III) hydroxide produces 18 moles of water.
