Calculate the volume, in mL, of 0.230 M Pb(NO3)2 that must be added to completely react with 34.8 mL of 0.417 M NaCl.
Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NaCl (aq) -> PbCl2 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq)
Given
Volume of NaCl V1 = 34.8 ml = 0.0348 L
Molarity of NaCl M1 = 0.417 M (mol/L)
No. of moles of NaCl n1 = V1 * M1 = 0.0348 L * 0.417 mol/L = 0.0145 moles
according to reaction stoichometry 2 moles of NaCl will react with 1 mole of Pb(NO3)2
0.0145 moles of NaCl will react with 0.0145/2 = 7.25 * 10-3 moles of Pb(NO3)2
Molarity of Pb(NO3)2 = 0.230 M (mole/L)
Volume of Pb(NO3)2 = No. of moles of Pb(NO3)2 / Molarity of Pb(NO3)2 = 7.25 * 10-3 moles / 0.230 mol/L
= 0.03155 L = 31.55 ml
Volume of Pb(NO3)2 = 31.55 ml
