Hello!

0,00128 moles of Sodium Chloride must be added to the solution to completely precipitate 0,133 g of dissolved Lead. 

The chemical reaction for the precipitation of lead from an aqueous solution is:

Pb⁺²(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + 2Na⁺(aq)

To calculate how many moles of NaCl are needed, we'll use the following conversion factor to go from grams of Pb⁺² to moles of NaCl using atomic masses and reaction coefficients:

[tex]0,133 g Pb^{+2} * \frac{1 mol Pb^{+2}}{207,2 g Pb^{+2}}* \frac{2 mol NaCl}{1 mol Pb^{+2}}=0,00128 moles NaCl [/tex]

Have a nice day!
