Answer: It is a Double Displacement(Replacement) Reaction.
Explanation:
Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 NaI (aq) --> PbI2 (s) + 2 NaNO3 (aq)
Starting with with 200.0 grams of Pb(NO3)2 and 120.0 grams of NaI:
A. What is the limiting reagent?
B. How many grams of PbI2 is theoretically formed?
C. How many grams of the excess reactant remains?
D. If 48 grams of NaNO3 actually formed in the reaction, what is the percent yield of this reaction?
Answer:
Explanation:
The given reaction equation is:
2A + 4B → C + 3D
We know the mass of compound A in the reaction above. We are to find the mass of compound D.
We simply work from the known mass to calculate the mass of the unkown compound D
Using the mole concept, we can find the unknown mass.
Procedures
- We first find the molar mass of the compound A from the atomic units of the constituent elements.
- We then use the molar mass of A to calculate its number of moles using the expression below:
Number of moles of A =
- Using the known number of moles of A, we can work out the number of moles of D.
From the balanced equation of the reaction, it is shown that:
2 moles of compound A was used up to produced 3 moles of D
Then x number of moles of A would give the number of moles of D
- Now that we know the number of moles of D, we can find its mass using the expression below:
Mass of D = number of moles of D x molar mass of D
