    How many moles of lead (II) chloride will be formed from a reaction between 6.5 g of PbO and 3.2g of HCl?

    A) 0.044                                    

    B) 0.333                                    

    C) 0.011                                    

    D) 0.029

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The reagent which is present in smaller quantity is called the limiting reagent and the moles of product depends on it and \[\text{number}\,\text{of}\,\text{moles}\,\text{=}\frac{\text{weight}}{\text{molecular}\,\text{weight}}\] \[\begin{matrix}    PbO & + & 2HCl\xrightarrow[{}]{{}} & PbC{{l}_{2}} & + & {{H}_{2}}O  \\    207.2+16 & {} & 2(35.5+1) & 207.2+71 & {} & {}  \\    =223.2 & {} & =73 & =278.2 & {} & {}  \\ \end{matrix}\] Here, 1 mole of PbO reacts with 2 moles of HCl, thus PbO is the limiting reagent \[\because \] 223.2 g PbO gives \[PbC{{l}_{2}}=278.2g\] \[\therefore \]6.5 g PbO will give \[PbC{{l}_{2}}\] \[=\frac{278.2}{223.2}\times 6.5g\] \[=\frac{278.2\times 6.5}{223.2\times 278.2}mol\] \[=0.029\,mol\]
