Lead ions can be precipitated from solution with KCl according
to the reaction:
Pb2+(aq) + 2 KCl(aq) S PbCl2(s) + 2 K+(aq)
When 28.5 g KCl is added to a solution containing 25.7 g Pb2+ , a PbCl2 precipitate forms. The precipitate is filtered and dried and found to have a mass of 29.4 g. Determine the limiting reactant, theoretical yield of PbCl2, and percent yield for the reaction
limiting reactant: Pb2+, theoretical yield: 34.5 g PbCl2,
percent yield: 85.3%
