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

<em>K</em> = 5.0 × 10^25

<h2>Part (a). Calculate <em>E</em>° for the reaction </h2>

<em>Step 1.</em> Write the equations for the two half-reactions

2H^(+)(aq) + 2e^(-) → H2(g); _0.00 V

Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-) → Zn(s); -0.76 V

<em>Step 2.</em> Identify the cathode and the anode

The half-cell with the more negative <em>E</em>° (Zn) is the anode.

<em>Step 3.</em> Calculate <em>E</em>°

Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-); _________+0.76 V

2H^(+)(aq) + 2e^(-) → H2(g); __________0.00 V

Zn(s) + 2H^(+)(aq) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + H2(g); +0.76 V

<em>E</em>° = +0.76 V

<h2>Part (b). Calculate <em>K</em> for the reaction </h2>

The relation between <em>E</em>° and <em>K</em> is

<em>E</em>° = (<em>RT</em>)/(<em>nF</em>)ln<em>K </em>

where

<em>R</em> = the universal gas constant: 8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1)

<em>T</em> = the Kelvin temperature

<em>n</em> = the moles of electrons transferred

<em>F</em> = the Faraday constant: 96 485 J·V^(-1)mol^(-1)

Then

0.76 V = [8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1) × 298.15 K]/[2 × 96 485 J·V^(-1)mol^(-1)]ln<em>K</em>

0.76 = 0.012 85 ln<em>K</em>

ln<em>K</em> = 0.76/0.012 85 = 59.16

<em>K</em> =e^59.16 = 5.0 × 10^25

The molar mass of a certain gas is 80.6 g. What is the density of the gas in g/L at STP?
vfiekz [6]
Using the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT

Substituting n with mass / Mr
PV = mRT/Mr

Density = m/V
So rearranging:
Density = PMr/RT

P = 1 atm
R = 0.082 L atm / K mol
T = 273 K
Density = (1 x 80.6) / (0.082 x 273)
Density = 3.6 g / L
