Answer:
1.24 mol.
Explanation:
2Ni(s) + Pb(CH₃COO)₄ → 2Ni(CH₃COO)₂ + Pb(s),
It is clear that 2 mole of Ni metal reacts with 1 mole of Pb(CH₃COO)₄ to produce 2 mole of Ni(CH₃COO)₂, and 1 mole of Pb.
no. of moles of Pb(CH₃COO)₂ = mass/molar mass = (275.0 g)/(443.38 g/mol) = 0.62 mol.
using cross multiplication:
1.0 mol of Pb(CH₃COO)₄ produces → 2 mol of Ni(CH₃COO)₂, from the stichiometry.
0.62 mol of Pb(CH₃COO)₄ produces → ??? mol of Ni(CH₃COO)₂.
∴ The no. of moles of Ni(CH₃COO)₂ are produced = (0.62 mol)(2.0 mol)/(1.0 mol) = 1.24 mol.
