Question
**Reaction and Problem Statement**

Consider the reaction:

\[ 2 \text{Pb (s)} + \text{O}_2 \text{(g)} \rightarrow 2 \text{PbO (s)} \]

An excess of oxygen reacts with 451.4 g of lead, forming 302.8 g of lead(II) oxide. Calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

---

**Calculation of Percent Yield**

To determine the percent yield, use the formula:

\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100\% \]

1. **Determine the Theoretical Yield:**

   Calculate the moles of lead (Pb) using its molar mass (207.2 g/mol):

   \[ \text{Moles of Pb} = \frac{451.4 \, \text{g}}{207.2 \, \text{g/mol}} \]

   Since the reaction is \(2 \text{Pb} \rightarrow 2 \text{PbO}\), the moles of lead(II) oxide (PbO) should be the same.

   Calculate the theoretical yield based on the molar mass of PbO (223.2 g/mol):

   \[ \text{Theoretical Yield of PbO} = \text{Moles of PbO} \times 223.2 \, \text{g/mol} \]

2. **Calculate the Percent Yield:**

   Insert the actual yield (302.8 g) and the theoretical yield into the formula above to find the percent yield.

---

**Final Answer**

Input the calculated percent yield in the provided box:

\[\text{percent yield:} \quad \boxed{\phantom{0}} \quad \% \]
