333 A solid sample X was known to contain lead(II) nitrate and zinc nitrate. A student was asked to determine the percentage by mass of lead(II) nitrate in the sample by precipitation method. He was given three aqueous solutions: sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride and sodium sulphate. The student first dissolved 5.00 g of the solid in distilled water. He then added excess sodium sulphate solution to the solution. (a) Why did the student choose sodium sulphate solution for his experiment ? Rationalize his choice.
