Question

You made 100.0 mL of Pb(NO3)2 solution for lab but forgot to cap it.  The next day you noticed that there was only 80.0 mL (silly evaporation) of your Pb(NO3)2  solution left.  In addition, since you are a normal high school student, you forgot to write down the original Molarity of the Pb(NO3)2 ☹.  You are dying to know the answer, so you decide to use your chemistry skills to solve the mystery.  You measure out 2.00 mL of the Pb(NO3)2 solution and add an excess of a concentrated sodium chloride solution.  You collect 3.407 g of PbCl2 (s).  What is the original concentration of the Pb(NO3)2 solution [before your let all that water evaporate].
