Lead (IV) oxide reacts with concentrated hydrochloric acid as follows: PbO2(s) + 4HCl(aq) -----> PbCl2(s) + Cl2(g) + 2H2O(l) What mass of lead chloride would be obtained from 37.2g of PbO2, and what mass of chlorine gas would be produced

In this question we have to use the equation Moles= Mass(g)/ Mr. We have the mass of PbO2 so to find the moles we need to divide the mass, which is 37.2g, by Its Mr, which is 207.2 + (162) = 239.2. th...
