    Mass
    What mass of lead(II) nitrate is present in 20.0mL of a solution?
    See below.
    Two different lead(II) nitrate solutions are used, each sample is reacted with an excess quantity of a potassium iodide solution, which produces lead(II) iodide.

    This question cannot be answered because you did not specify which solution.
    (Saturated? One molar?. )

    You edited your question.
    You should have written a new reply, because I'd not have seen it if I didn't search for it.
    "two different solutions" is not a specification.

    However, lead(II)iodide is one of the least solvable salts.
    The answer 0 (zero) will be very close to the truth - but not quite.
    There will always be a few ions around.
    ****
    I think that your teacher wants the answer "zero".

    Chemical analysis
    Samples of two different lead(II) nitrate solutions are used, each sample is reacted with an excess quatity of a potassium iodide solution, producing lead(II) iodide, which has a low solubility and settle4s to the bottom of the beaker. After the contents of the beaker are filtered and dried, the mass of lead(II) iodide is determined. The reference data:
    Mass of PbI2 Produced Grams --> Mass of Pb(NO3)2 Reacting

    1.39 --> 1.00
    2.78 --> 2.00
    4.18 --> 3.00
    5.57 --> 4.00
    6.96 --> 5.00

    This reference data relates the mass of Pb(NO3)2 to the mass of PbI2 for the reaction.

    Solution 1 Solution 2
    Volume Used 20.0mL 20.0mL
    Mass of Filter paper 0.99g 1.02g
    Mass of paper & 5.39g 8.57g
    Dried precipiate

    What mass of lead(II) nitrate is present in 20.0 mL of a solution?

    I don't know what these figures are for, I don't need them:
    1.39 --> 1.00
    2.78 --> 2.00
    4.18 --> 3.00
    5.57 --> 4.00
    6.96 --> 5.00
    *****
    Molecular weight of PbI2 is 207.7 + 2(126.9)= 461.5
    Molecular weight of Pb(NO3)2 is 207.7 + 2*14 + 6*16 = 331.7
    Given the equation:
    Pb(NO3)2 + 2 I- => 2 NO3- + PbI2
    One mole Pb(NO3)2 will produce one mole PbI2, or:
    => 331.7 gram of Pb(NO3)2 will produce 461.5 gram of PbI2
    *****
    Solution 1: found 5.39 - 0.99 = 4.4 g PbI2
    Originally present: 4.4 * 331.7/461.5 = 3.16247 g Pb(NO3)2
    *****
    Solution 2: found 8.57 - 1.02 = 7.55 g PbI2
    Originally present: 7.55 * 331.7/461.5 = 5.42651 g Pb(NO3)2
