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.

\[ \text{Moles of KCl} = \text{Molarity of KCl} \times \text{Volume of KCl} \]

Given:

  • Volume of KCl = 0.18 L
  • Molarity of KCl = 1.8 M

\[ \text{Moles of KCl} = 1.8 \, \text{M} \times 0.18 \, \text{L} = 0.324 \, \text{moles} \]

Step 2: Use the stoichiometric ratio to find moles of Pb(NO\(_3\))\(_2\)

From the balanced chemical equation:

\[ 2 \mathrm{KCl}(\mathrm{aq}) + \mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{PbCl}_{2}(\mathrm{s}) + 2 \mathrm{KNO}_{3}(\mathrm{aq}) \]

The stoichiometric ratio between KCl and Pb(NO\(_3\))\(_2\) is 2:1. Therefore, the moles of Pb(NO\(_3\))\(_2\) needed can be calculated as:

\[ \text{Moles of Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2 = \frac{0.324 \, \text{moles KCl}}{2} = 0.162 \, \text{moles} \]

Step 3: Calculate the volume of Pb(NO\(_3\))\(_2\) solution needed

Finally, we use the molarity of the Pb(NO\(_3\))\(_2\) solution to find the required volume.

\[ \text{Volume of Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2 = \frac{\text{Moles of Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2}{\text{Molarity of Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2} \]

Given:

  • Molarity of Pb(NO\(_3\))\(_2\) = 1.25 M

\[ \text{Volume of Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2 = \frac{0.162 \, \text{moles}}{1.25 \, \text{M}} = 0.1296 \, \text{L} \]

Final Answer

The missing conversion factor is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{2 \, \text{mol KCl}}{1 \, \text{mol Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2}} \]
