Question
**Chemical Reaction Problem: Determining Molarity**

**Problem Statement:**
When 17.1 mL of an unknown molarity of potassium chloride (KCl) solution is reacted in excess lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) solution, 6.53 g of lead (II) chloride (PbCl₂) was produced. Assuming 100% yield, what is the molarity of KCl?

**Molar Masses (possibly useful):**
- PbCl₂ = 278.1 g/mol
- KCl = 74.55 g/mol
- Pb(NO₃)₂ = 331.2 g/mol

**Chemical Equation:**
\[ 2 \text{KCl (aq)} + \text{Pb(NO}_3)_2 \text{ (aq)} \rightarrow \text{PbCl}_2 \text{ (s)} + 2 \text{KNO}_3 \text{ (aq)} \]

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Given : Volume of KCl solution used = 17.1 mL = 0.0171 L                                   (since 1 L = 1000 mL)

And mass of PbCl2 produced = 6.53 g
