Solution:
$\text{Hint: The limiting reagent is } \text{Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2$ $\text{Step 1: The balanced reaction is given as follows:}$ $3 \text{Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + \text{Cr}_2\text{(SO}_4\text{)}_3 \rightarrow 3 \text{PbSO}_4 + 2 \text{Cr(NO}_3\text{)}_3$ $\text{The volume of lead nitrate solution } = 35 \text{ mL } = 0.035 \text{ L}$ $\text{The molarity of lead nitrate solution } = 0.15 \text{ M } = 0.15 \text{ mol L}^{-1}$ $\text{So, the number of moles of lead nitrate } = 0.15 \text{ mol L}^{-1} \times 0.035 \text{ L } = 0.00525 \text{ mol } = 5.25 \text{ millimoles}$ $\text{Step 2: The volume of chromic sulphate solution } = 20 \text{ mL } = 0.020 \text{ L}$ $\text{The molarity of chromic sulphate solution } = 0.12 \text{ M } = 0.12 \text{ mol L}^{-1}$ $\text{So, the number of moles of chromic sulphate } = 0.12 \text{ mol L}^{-1} \times 0.020 \text{ L } = 0.0024 \text{ mol } = 2.4 \text{ millimoles}$ $\text{Step 3: 3 moles of lead nitrate react with one mole of chromic sulphate.}$ $\text{1 mole of lead nitrate reacts with } \frac{1}{3} \text{ moles of chromic sulphate.}$ $\text{Hence, 5.25 moles of lead nitrate reacts with } \frac{5.25}{3} = 1.75 \text{ moles of chromic sulphate.}$ $\text{The limiting reagent is } \text{Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \text{ and the excess reactant is } \text{Cr}_2\text{(SO}_4\text{)}_3$ $\text{The millimole of } \text{PbSO}_4 = 5.25 \text{ because the molar ratio of } \text{Pb(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \text{ and } \text{PbSO}_4 \text{ is } 1 : 1.$ $\text{mole of } \text{PbSO}_4 = 525 \times 10^{-5}$ $\text{So } x = 525$ $\text{Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.}$
