    1) [Pb⁴⁺] = 0.01 mol/L.

    2) [NO³⁻] = 0.0288 mol/L.

    3) [Cl⁻] = 0.01244 mol/L.

    Explanation:

    Firstly, we need to calculate the concentration of the mentioned salts (Pb (NO₃) ₄ and PbCl₄) in water.

    Molarity = (n) solute / V solution,

    n of solute is the no. of moles of solute.

    V is the volume of the solution in L (V = 90.0 L).

    We can calculate the no. of moles of each salt using the relation:

    n = mass/molar mass.

    ∴ no. of moles of (Pb (NO₃) ₄) = mass/molar mass = (296.0 g) / (455.22 g/mol) = 0.65 M.

    ∴ no. of moles of (PbCl₄) = mass/molar mass = (98.3 g) / (349.012 g/mol) = 0.28 M.

    ∴ M of (Pb (NO₃) ₄) = [no. of moles of (Pb (NO₃) ₄) ] / V of the solution = [0.65 M]/[90.0 L] = 7.22 x 10⁻³ mol/L.

    ∴ M of (PbCl₄) = [no. of moles of (PbCl₄) ] / V of the solution = [0.28 M]/[90.0 L] = 3.11 x 10⁻³ mol/L.

    Now, we can calculate the concentration of the different ions [Pb⁴⁺], [NO³⁻], and [Cl⁻]:

    1) [Pb⁴⁺]:

    The concentration of [Pb⁴⁺] will come from the dissociation of the two salts (Pb (NO₃) ₄) and (PbCl₄):

    Pb (NO₃) ₄ → Pb⁴⁺ + 4NO₃⁻,

    Every 1.0 mole of (Pb (NO₃) ₄) will give 1.0 mole of [Pb⁴⁺ ] ions.

    PbCl₄ → Pb⁴⁺ + 4Cl⁻.

    Every 1.0 mole of (PbCl₄) will give 1.0 mole of [Pb⁴⁺ ] ions.

    ∴ [Pb⁴⁺] = [Pb⁴⁺] of (Pb (NO₃) ₄) + [Pb⁴⁺] of (PbCl₄) ] = (7.22 x 10⁻³ mol/L) + (3.11 x 10⁻³ mol/L) = 0.01 mol/L.

    2) [NO³⁻]:

    The concentration of [NO³⁻] will come only from the dissociation of the (Pb (NO₃) ₄):

    Pb (NO₃) ₄ → Pb⁴⁺ + 4NO₃⁻.

    Every 1.0 mole of (Pb (NO₃) ₄) will give 4.0 mole of [NO³⁻] ions.

    ∴ [NO³⁻] = 4 x concentration of (Pb (NO₃) ₄) = 4 x (7.22 x 10⁻³ mol/L) = 0.0288 mol/L.

    3) [Cl⁻]:

    The concentration of [Cl⁻] will come only from the dissociation of the (PbCl₄):

    PbCl₄ → Pb⁴⁺ + 4Cl⁻.

    Every 1.0 mole of (PbCl₄) will give 4.0 mole of [Cl⁻] ions.

    ∴ [Cl⁻] = 4 x concentration of (PbCl₄) = 4 x (3.11 x 10⁻³ mol/L) = 0.01244 mol/L.
