Problem: If 38.5 mL of lead(II) nitrate solution reacts completely with excess sodium iodide solution to yield 0.628 g of precipitate, what is the molarity of lead(II) ion in the original solution?
FREE Expert Solution
Lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and sodium iodide (I) will break up into their ions in the solution and will react as shown:
Balanced Reaction:
Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaI(aq) → PbI2(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq)
