First, determine the moles of reactants available.

Moles Pb (NO₃) ₂: 0.285 mol/L * 1 L/1000 mL * 320 mL = 0.0912

Moles NaIO₃: 0.512 mol/L * 1 L/1000 mL * 386 mL = 0.1976

Next, determine which reactant is limiting. The balanced reaction is:

Pb (NO₃) ₂ (aq) + 2 NaIO₃ (aq) - - > Pb (IO₃) ₂ (s) + 2 NaNO₃ (aq)

Theoretical Amount of NaIO₃ needed for 0.0912 mol Pb (NO₃) ₂: 0.0912 mol Pb (NO₃) ₂ * 2 mol NaIO₃/1 mol Pb (NO₃) ₂ = 0.1824 moles NaIO₃

Since the theoretical amount is less than what's available, this means NaIO₃ is the excess reactant while Pb (NO₃) ₂ is the limiting reactant. Thus, let; s base our answer using the amount of 0.0912 mol Pb (NO₃) ₂.

Mass of Precipitate = 0.0912 mol Pb (NO₃) ₂ * 1 mol Pb (IO₃) ₂/1 mol Pb (NO₃) ₂ * 557 g/mol = 50.8 grams of Pb (IO₃) ₂ precipitate
