150.00 g of lead react with hydrochloric acid - write the balanced reaction this is what I came up with: Pb + 2 HCI → PbC12 + H2 What is the theoretical yield of lead (II) chloride in grams? using dimensional analysis
Yes, the reaction is balanced.
This problem is asking how much lead chloride would result in this reaction.
Do you know how to do dimensional analysis?
@studydeep
a little bit... its still confusing to me
Okay. BCA tables can help in these types of problems.
so first, we must convert the 150 grams into moles. Do you know how to do this?
no i don't
Alright, to convert grams to moles, you must divide the number of grams of the molar mass, which is the molar mass of the compound pb.
thats 207.2 right?
Yes! You are correct! the way to do dimentional analysis is this: 150.00g Pb x 1 mol Pb/207.2g Pb Do you understand that the numerator is the value you need, and that you need the number, unit, and thing for every dimentional analysis?
yes I understand that... and would i get 31080?
uhh nooo lol it's one over 207.2
it would be 0.72 moles of Pb
wait wait how? what
\[150.00~g~Pb \times \frac{ 1~mol~Pb }{ 207.2~g~Pb }\]
This form is called dimensional analysis.
oh I see now... my bad im stired so im not functioning right. I think I got this part of the dimensional analysis earlier today but I got stuck after this
I see. So now we need to create a BCA table. Do you know what those are?
no i dont think ive learned that
https://www.chemedx.org/sites/www.chemedx.org/files/powerpoint-stoichiometryrevisited-bcatables.pdf Can you read this real quick?
Tell me when you're done!
i don't think I can use that kind of table though bc ive never learned it.
Oh.
I guess we dont need it. Since the ratio of the Pb and PbCl2 is the same, we can assume that 0.72 moles of PbCl2 are produced.
I see... does the dimensional analysis continue at all?
Yes, it does. So then 0.72molPbCl2 times molar mass of PbCl2
its 289.1 g right?
yep! so multiply that number times 0.72
208.152?
yep!
would that be my final theoretical yield or is there more?
that is it
okay and would it go 0.72mol pB / 289.1 g for dimensional analysis or would it be the other way around?
it would be multiply
the multiply would go in the front?
where did you even get 'front'from
uhh by * 0.72mol pB / 289.1 g the / isn't to divide its for the dimensional analysis, right?
