25.

25. Phosgenite, Pb₂Cl₂CO3, is a lead-based compound found in ancient Egyptian cosmetics. Phosgenite
was prepared by the reaction of PbO, NaCl, H₂O, and CO2. An unbalanced equation of the reaction is
PbO(s) + NaCl(aq) + H₂O(1) + CO2(g) → Pb₂Cl₂CO3(s) + NaOH(aq)
(a) Balance the equation.
(b) How many grams of phosgenite can be obtained from 10.0 g of PbO and 10.0 g of NaCl in the
presence of excess water and CO₂?
(c) If 2.72 g of phosgenite is produced in the laboratory from the amounts of starting materials stated in
part (b), what is the percent yield of the reaction?
