Question

Aqueous lead (II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2 undergoes a double displacement reaction with aqueous sodium chloride, NaCl, in which a precipitate forms. If the precipitate contains lead, write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Be sure to include the states of each of the reactants and products.

Answer 1

Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) → PbCl₂(s)↓ + 2NaNO₃(aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

The precipitate formed is PbCl₂, which contains lead in it
∴ Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) → PbCl₂(s)↓ + 2NaNO₃(aq)
