If 32.0 mL lead(II) nitrate solution reacts completely with excess sodium iodide solution to yield 0.545 g precipitate, what is the molarity of lead(II) ion in the original solution?

1 answer

The precipate is Lead(II)iodide, hopefully, and you have .545grams lead iodide.

The easy way is to figure the number of moles that you have.

moles= massPbI2/molmassPbI2

Next, because the moles of Pb+2 ion is the same as the moles of PbI2 which was formed, then

Molarityoriginal= molesPb+2/.032
