You dissolve 8.65 grams of lead(l) nitrate in water and then you add 2 50 grams of aluminum. this reaction occurs 2ai(s)+ 3pb(no3)2(aq) -3pb(s)+ 2aino3la(aq) the theoretical yield of solid lead?

The theoretical yield of solid lead comes out to be 5.408 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the following equation:  

Given mass of lead nitrate = 8.65 grams

Molar mass of lead nitrate = 331.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Given mass of aluminium = 2.5 grams

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

For the given chemical reaction, the equation follows:

By Stoichiometry:

3 moles of lead nitrate reacts with 2 moles of aluminium

So, 0.0261 moles of lead nitrate are produced by = of aluminium.

As, the required amount of aluminium is less than the given amount. Hence, it is considered as the excess reagent.

Lead nitrate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of lead nitrate are produces 3 moles of lead metal.

So, 0.0261 moles of lead nitrate will produce = of lead metal.

Molar mass of lead = 207.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Mass of lead = 5.408 grams

Hence, the theoretical yield of solid lead comes out to be 5.408 grams.

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.
