Try it: The stoichiometry of a precipitation reaction

Molarity is a useful concept for stoichiometric calculations involving reactions in solution, such precipitation and neutralization reactions. For example, consider the precipitation reaction that occurs between Pb(NO3)2(aq) and KI(aq). When these two solutions are combined, bright yellow PbI2(s) precipitates out of solution. The balanced equation for this reaction is:
Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2KI(aq)PbI2(s)+2KNO3(aq)
If we have 0.1L of 0.10M Pb(NO3)2, what volume of 0.10M KI(aq) should we add to react with all the Pb(NO3)2(aq)?
