The balanced molecular equation for the reaction is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Pb(NO}_3)_2 (aq) + 2 \\text{KCl} (aq) \\rightarrow \\text{PbCl}_2 (s) + 2 \\text{KNO}_3 (aq)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ionic equation shows all the ions present in the reaction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Pb}^{2+} (aq) + 2 \\text{NO}_3^- (aq) + 2 \\text{K}^+ (aq) + 2 \\text{Cl}^- (aq) \\rightarrow \\text{PbCl}_2 (s) + 2 \\text{K}^+ (aq) + 2 \\text{NO}_3^- (aq)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the net ionic equation eliminates the spectator ions (in this case, ( \\text{K}^+ ) and ( \\text{NO}_3^- )) to show only the ions involved in the formation of the precipitate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Pb}^{2+} (aq) + 2 \\text{Cl}^- (aq) \\rightarrow \\text{PbCl}_2 (s)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This net ionic equation represents the reaction where lead ions react with chloride ions to form solid lead chloride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part ii: Calculating the Molarity of Hydrochloric Acid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The balanced chemical equation for the neutralization of hydrochloric acid (( \\text{HCl} )) with sodium hydroxide (( \\text{NaOH} )) is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{HCl} (aq) + \\text{NaOH} (aq) \\rightarrow \\text{NaCl} (aq) + \\text{H}_2\\text{O} (l)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the equation, we see that hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide in a 1:1 molar ratio. Given:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Volume of sodium hydroxide ( \\text{NaOH} ) = 36.11 mL = 0.03611 L<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Molarity of sodium hydroxide ( [\\text{NaOH}] = 0.045 \\, \\text{M} )<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Volume of hydrochloric acid ( \\text{HCl} ) = 13.0 mL = 0.0130 L<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We can calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{moles of NaOH} = \\text{molarity of NaOH} \\times \\text{volume of NaOH} = 0.045 \\, \\text{M} \\times 0.03611 \\, \\text{L} = 0.001625 \\, \\text{mol}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the reaction is in a 1:1 molar ratio, the moles of ( \\text{HCl} ) required to neutralize the sodium hydroxide are also 0.001625 mol. Using the formula for molarity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Molarity of HCl} = \\frac{\\text{moles of HCl}}{\\text{volume of HCl in liters}} = \\frac{0.001625 \\, \\text{mol}}{0.0130 \\, \\text{L}} = 0.125 \\, \\text{M}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the molarity of hydrochloric acid is <strong>0.125 M<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The key steps to solving this problem involve recognizing the stoichiometric relationship between ( \\text{HCl} ) and ( \\text{NaOH} ), which is 1:1 in the neutralization reaction. Using the given volume and molarity of sodium hydroxide, we can calculate the moles of sodium hydroxide present. From there, we know that an equal number of moles of hydrochloric acid is needed for neutralization. Finally, using the volume of hydrochloric acid and the calculated moles, we can find its molarity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>i.
