    Explanation:

    2Pb + O2 - > 2PbO

    To obtain the %yield, we must first obtain the theoretical yield. This can be achieved by doing the following:

    Molar Mass of Pb = 207g/mol

    Mass of Pb from the balanced equation = 2 x 207 = 414g

    Molar Mass of PbO = 207 + 16 = 223g/mol

    Mass of PbO from the balanced equation = 2 x 223 = 446g

    From the equation,

    414g of Pb reacted with O2 to produced 446g of PbO.

    Therefore, 451.4g of Pb will react with O2 to produce = (451.4x446) / 414 = 486.3g of PbO.

    Therefore the theoretical yield of PbO is 486.3g.

    Now we can obtain the the %yield as follows:

    Actual yield = 305.3g

    Theoretical yield = 486.3g

    %yield = ?

    %yield = Actual yield/Theoretical yield x100

    %yield = 305.3/486.3 x100

    %yield = 62.78%
