Question

The concentration of Pb2+in a sample of wastewater is to be determined by using gravimetric analysis. To a 100.0-mL sample of the wastewater is added an excess of sodium carbonate, forming the insoluble lead (II) carbonate (267.2092g/mol) according to the balanced equation given below. The solid lead (II) carbonate is dried, and its mass is measured to be 0.4078g. What was the concentration of Pb2+in the original wastewater sample?
Pb2+(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)→PbCO3(s)+2Na+(aq)
A) 0.01526 M
B) 0.001526 M
C) 1.090 M
D) 0.004078 M
E) 65.52 M
