Mass of filter paper+ PbI2 | 3g |
| Mass of filter paper | 0.52g |
| Mass of PbI2 | 2.48g |
| Mass(g) Pb(NO3)2 | Mass(g) KI | Mass(g) PbI2 | Moles Pb(NO3)2 | Moles KI | Moles PbI2 |
| 1.66g | 2g | 2.48g | 5x10-3 | 0.012 | 6x10-3 |
The above are the data.
a) using the equation for the reaction (Pb(NO3)2+2KI --> PbI2 +2KNO3 ), calculate how much solid PbI2 youshould have made. This called theoretical Yield.
b) compare your actual results ( the mass of PbI2 youmade) with the theoretical yield ( the mass of PbI2 youshould have made). Calculate % yield.
