Question

The concentration of bivalent lead ions in a sample of polluted water that also contains nitrate ions is determined by adding solid sodium sulphate (M = 142) to exactly 500 mL water. Calculate the molarity of lead ions if 0.355 g of sodium sulphate was needed for complete precipitation of lead ions as sulphate.

Solution

The correct option is C 5×103 M
Pb2++SO24 (from Na2SO4) PbSO4
moles of Na2SO4 req. = moles of Pb2+ ions
=0.355142=0.0025
[Pb2+]=0.00250.50=5×103M
