Question

10. Lead nitrate solution mixed with sodium sulfate solution forms lead sulfate as a

precipitate.
Pb(NO3)2+ Na2SO4-
PbSO4+ 2NaNO3
In an experiment, the theoretical yield of lead sulfate for this reaction was 2.85 g.
In the experiment only 2.53 g of lead sulfate is obtained.
Calculate the percentage yield of lead sulfate in this experiment. * IT​

Answer 1

88%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage yield of lead sulfate in this experiment is 88% if 2.53 is divided by 2.85 and multiply by 100. The percentage yield can be calculated when the experimental yield is divided by theoretical yield and then multiply by 100. The percentage yield tells us about the actual yield that is gained in the end of experiment which is lower than theoretical yield.
