A solution contains 0.245 of dissolved lead (lead ion or Pb2+.)

Question

How many moles of sodium chloride must be added to the solution to completely precipitate all of the dissolved lead?
What mass of sodium chloride must be added?

Answer 1

Pb^+2 + 2NaCl --> PbCl2 + 2Na^+

Convert 0.245 g Pb^+2 to moles. moles = grams/molar mass

Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert moles Pb to moles NaCl. That gives you part a.

Convert moles NaCl to grams. g = moles x molar mass. That gives you part b.
