Question:

When 35 mL of 0.15 M lead nitrate solution is mixed with 20 mL of 0.12 M chromic sulphate solution, _________ \(\times\) \(10^{-5}\) moles of lead sulphate precipitate out. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

Show Hint

Write the balanced reaction, find the limiting reagent from the moles of Pb(NO3)2 and Cr2(SO4)3, and remember each Cr2(SO4)3 gives three sulphate ions.

Correct Answer: 525

Solution and Explanation

Reaction: \(3\mathrm{Pb(NO_3)_2}+\mathrm{Cr_2(SO_4)_3}\rightarrow 3\mathrm{PbSO_4}\downarrow+2\mathrm{Cr(NO_3)_3}\).
Moles of Pb(NO3)2 = 35 mL \(\times\) 0.15 M = 5.25 mmol.
Moles of Cr2(SO4)3 = 20 mL \(\times\) 0.12 M = 2.4 mmol.
Cr2(SO4)3 needed for 5.25 mmol Pb(NO3)2 = 5.25/3 = 1.75 mmol, which is less than 2.4 mmol, so Pb(NO3)2 is the limiting reagent.
Moles of PbSO4 = 5.25 mmol = \(5.25\times 10^{-3}\) mol = \(525\times 10^{-5}\) mol.
