Questions: Solution stoichiometry allows chemists to determine the volume of reactants or products involved in a chemical reaction when the chemical substances are dissolved in water. Instead of using mass to calculate the resulting amount of reactants or products, molarity and volume will be used to calculate the moles of substances.
Select the missing conversion factor for the following set of calculations:
Assume 0.18 L of a 1.8 M solution of potassium chloride, KCl, reacts with a 1.25 M solution of lead(II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, to produce lead(II) chloride, PbCl2, and potassium nitrate, KNO3. The problem requires that you determine the volume of lead(II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, needed for the reaction to occur.
2 KCl(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) -> PbCl2(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)
1 mol KCl / 2 mol Pb(NO3)2
2 mol KCl / 1 mol Pb(NO3)2
1 mol Pb(NO3)2 / 2 mol KNO3

Select the missing conversion factor for the following set of calculations:
Assume 0.18 L of a 1.8 M solution of potassium chloride, KCl , reacts with a 1.25 M solution of lead(II) nitrate, $\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}$, to produce lead(II) chloride, $\mathrm{PbCl}_{2}$, and potassium nitrate, $\mathrm{KNO}_{3}$. The problem requires that you determine the volume of lead(II) nitrate, $\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}$, needed for the reaction to occur.
\[
2 \mathrm{KCl}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{PbCl}_{2}(\dot{\mathrm{~s}})+2 \mathrm{KNO}_{3}(\mathrm{aq})
\]
\[
\frac{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{KCl}}{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}}
\]
\[
\frac{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{KCl}}{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}}
\]
\[
\frac{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~Pb}^{\mathrm{ma}}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}}{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{KNO}_{3}}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the moles of KCl
First, we need to calculate the moles of potassium chloride (KCl) using its volume and molarity.
\[
\text{Moles of KCl} = \text{Molarity of KCl} \times \text{Volume of KCl}
\]
