Solution

The correct option is C 0.029
The balanced reaction is as follows :

PbO+2HClPbCl2+H2O
Mass given: 6.5 g 3.2 g
No. of moles: 6.5223 3.236.5
=0.029 =0.087
Ratio of moles given
and stoichiometry
0.0291 0.0872

coefficient:
=0.029 =0.0435
As 0.029 is lower than 0.0435, PbO is limiting reagent and product will form according to the number of moles of PbO (given).
So, moles produced of PbCl2=11×0.029=0.029 moles.

Hence the correct option is B.
