Question

An aqueous solution containing 6.29 g of lcad(ii) nitrate is added to an aqueous solution containing 6.61 g of potassium chloride. Enter the balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Be sure to include all physical states.

Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between lead (II) nitrate and potassium chloride to form lead (II) chloride and potassium nitrate is Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq) → PbCl2 (s) + 2 KNO3 (aq).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking for the balanced chemical equation when lead (II) nitrate reacts with potassium chloride. The balanced equation for this reaction is:


Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq) → PbCl2 (s) + 2 KNO3 (aq)
The reaction is a precipitation reaction that occurs between two aqueous solutions, forming a solid precipitate of lead (II) chloride and an aqueous solution of potassium nitrate.
