tim has a solution containing both silver ions, Ag1+(aq) and lead(II) ions, Pb2+(aq). She wants to separate the ions. tim says that if he adds a sodium chloride, NaCl, solution, the silver ions will precipitate as solid silver chloride, AgCl(s).

a) Will this procedure successfully separate the silver ions from the lead(II) ions? Explain why or why not.

b) If your answer to Part (a) is negative, what would you do instead to separate the ions?
