The concentration of Pb2+ in a sample of wastewater is to be determined by using
gravimetric analysis. To a 100.0-mL sample of the wastewater is added an excess of
sodium carbonate, forming the insoluble lead (II) carbonate (267.2092 g/mol) according to
the balanced equation given below. The solid lead (II) carbonate is dried, and its mass is
measured to be 0.4078 g. What was the concentration of Pb2+ in the original wastewater
sample?

0.001526 M
The M of Na2CO3 is .0054M. I don’t know what’s next. I think that that’s the answer.
