Calculate the number of milliliters of 0.666 M Ba(OH)2 required to precipitate all of the Pb2 ions in 163 mL of 0.656 M Pb(NO3)2 solution as Pb(OH)2. The equation for the reaction is: Pb(NO3)2(aq) Ba(OH)2(aq) Pb(OH)2(s) Ba(NO3)2(aq)

161 mL

Explanation:

First we calculate how many Pb⁺² moles reacted, using the given concentration and volume of the Pb(NO₃)₂ solution:

As 1 millimol of Pb(NO₃)₂ would react with 1 millimol of Ba(OH)₂, to precipitate 107 mmoles of Pb(NO₃)₂ we would require 107 mmoles of Ba(OH)₂.

Using the number of moles and the concentration we can calculate the required number of milliliters:

the answer is definitely c.
