To the remaining 8 test tubes, add the following reagents.  Record a description of each reagent
added on your Observations Sheet.
Allow the solutions to stand for 20 minutes to give time for equilibrium to be reestablished.  Compare the
colours of the solutions in test tubes 2 to 9 to the reference colour in test tube 1.  Record a detailed
description of each solution on your Observations Sheet.

NOTES:
1.
To compare the colours of the solutions,
hold the test tubes over a white tile and look
directly down at the solution from above as
well as from the side.  
2.
When you have finished recording your
observations, pour all of the solutions as well
as the first rinse of the test tubes into the your
toxic waste beaker
Part II.  Solubility of Lead Salts
A.
Solubility Pb(NO3)2 and PbCl2 in solutions of varying chloride concentrations. 
1.
Using automatic dispensers, combine 0.5 mL of 1.0 M Pb(NO3)2 with 0.5 mL of 1.0 M NaCl in a
13 x 100 mm tube (test tube #1) and mix thoroughly.  What do you observe?  Record your
observations.  Add 3.0 mL of deionized water (total volume is now approximately 8 mL) and mix
thoroughly.  Set this test tube aside to allow the precipitate settle. 
2.
In this step, a reaction solution will be prepared in which the initial concentration of HCl above the
PbCl
2(s)
is about 3.0 M.  Again, using the automatic dispensers, combine 0.5 mL of 1.0 M Pb(NO3)2,
with 0.5 mL of 1.0 M NaCl in a clean test tube.  Add 2.0 mL of deionized water, stir, and then add 1.0
mL of 12.4 M HCl to the test tube and mix thoroughly.   WARNING: 12.4 M HCl is very corrosive. 
Wash immediately if you get any on your skin.  Cover the test tube with parafilm and mix well.  Set
this test tube aside to allow the precipitate to settle.  
3.
In this step, a reaction solution will be prepared in which the initial concentration of HCl above the
PbCl
2 (s)
is about 9.0 M.    Repeat the combining of 0.5 mL of 1.0 M Pb(NO3)2 with 0.5 mL of 1.0 M
NaCl in a clean test tube.  Add 3.0 mL of 12.4 M HCl to the precipitate and mix thoroughly.  Cover
the test tube with parafilm and mix well.  Allow the precipitate to settle.  Record your observations.
