Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to two significant figures. An industrial vat contains 650 grams of solid lead(II) chloride formed from a reaction of 870 grams of lead(II) nitrate with excess hydrochloric acid. This is the equation of the reaction: 2HCl + Pb(NO3)2 → 2HNO3 + PbCl2. What is the percent yield of lead(II) chloride?

88.98 %

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

                                  2 HCl + Pb(NO₃)₂     →    2 HNO₃ + PbCl₂

According to equation,

          331.2 g (1 mole) Pb(NO₃)₂ produces  =  278.1 g (1 mole) PbCl₂

So,

                 870 g of Pb(NO₃)₂ will produce  =  X g of PbCl₂

Solving for X,

                     X  =  (870 g × 278.1 g) ÷ 331.2 g

                     X  =  730.5 g of PbCl₂

Therefore,

               Theoretical Yield =  730.5 g

Also as given,

                Actual Yield =  650 g

So using following formula for percentage yield,

                        %age Yield  =  (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100

Putting values,

                        %age Yield  =  (650 g / 730.5 g) × 100

                        %age Yield  =  88.98 %
