Explanation / Answer

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) --------------> PbCl2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

no of moles of Pb(NO3)2 = W/G.M.Wt   = 9.96/331.2 = 0.03 moles

no of moles of KCl            = W/G.M.Wt    = 7.19/74.5    = 0.0965 moles

1 mole of Pb(NO3)2 react with 2 moles of KCl

0.03 moles of Pb(NO3)2 react with = 2*0.03/1 = 0.06 moles of KCl

Pb(NO3)2 is limiting reactant

1 mole of Pb(NO3)2 react with KCl to gives 1mole of PbCl2

0.03 moles of Pb(NO3)2 react with KCl to gives = 1*0.03/1 = 0.03 moles of PbCl2

mass of PbCl2   = 0.03*278   = 8.34g

percentage yield = actual yield*100/theoritical yield

           89.3        =   x*100/8.34

         X               = 89.3*8.34/100   = 7.48 g

excess reactant is KCl

No of moles of excess reaqctant remains = 0.0965-0.06   = 0.0365 moles

mass of excess reactant remains = 0.0365*74.5   = 2.72g
