<u>Analysing the Question:</u>
We are given a 250 mL solution of 0.5M K₂Cr₂O₇
Which means that we have:
0.5 Mole in 1L of the solution
0.125 moles in 250 mL of the solution <em>[dividing both the numbers by 4]</em>
<em />
<u>Mass of K₂Cr₂O₇ in the given solution:</u>
Molar mass of K₂Cr₂O₇(Potassium Dichromate) = 194 g/mol
<em>we know that we have 0.125 moles in the 250 mL solution provided</em>
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass
Mass = 0.125 * 194
Mass = 36.75 grams
We have as a reagent a salt, lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2), and an unknown solution that gives us as a product lead chloride (PbCl2). That is, the solution must contain chlorine.
If a chlorine solution is used we will have the following reaction:

So, with a chlorine solution, we will have a white precipitate of lead chloride.
