How many moles of potassium iodide, KI, are required to precipitate all of the lead (II) ion from 25.0 mL of a 1.6 M Pb(NO3)2 solution? (First, write a balanced equation for the reaction.)

Respuesta :

0.04 moles of iodide is required to precipitate all the lead II ions from  25.0 mL of a 1.6 M Pb(NO3)2 solution.

The reaction equation is;

2KI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) -------> PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

The net ionic equation is;

Pb^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq) ------> PbI2(s)

Number of moles of Pb(NO3)2  = 25/1000 L ×  1.6 M = 0.04 moles

Number of moles of Pb^2+ = 0.04 moles /2 = 0.02 moles

Since 2 moles of iodide reacts with 1 mole of Pb^2+

x moles of iodide reacts with 0.02 moles of Pb^2+

x =  2 moles × 0.02 moles/ 1 mole

x = 0.04 moles of iodide

Hence,  0.04 moles of iodide is required to precipitate all the lead II ions from  25.0 mL of a 1.6 M Pb(NO3)2 solution.
