A 28.8 ml sample of a 1.46 M potassium chloride solution is mixed with 14.8 ml of a 0.860 M lead(II) nitrate solution, and this precipitation reaction occurs:
2KCl(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + 2KNO₃(aq).
The solid PbCl₂ is collected, dried, and found to have a mass of 2.63 g. Determine the limiting reactant, the theoretical yield, and the percent yield.
A) Theoretical yield: 4.67 g, Limiting reactant: KCl, Percent yield: 56.3%
B) Theoretical yield: 2.00 g, Limiting reactant: Pb(NO₃)₂, Percent yield: 100%
C) Theoretical yield: 2.63 g, Limiting reactant: Pb(NO₃)₂, Percent yield: 100%
D) Theoretical yield: 2.63 g, Limiting reactant: KCl, Percent yield: 100%
