Answer:Its c

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use a double displacement reaction of Lead (II) Nitrate and Potassium Chromate to produce Lead (II) Chromate and Potassium Nitrate to practice balancing an equation.

We begin with the base equation provided in the question.Pb(NO3)2(aq)+K2CrO4(aq)→PbCrO4(s)+KNO3(aq)

Looking at the the atom inventory ReactantsPb=1NO3=2

K=2CrO4=1

Products

Pb=1

NO3=1

K=1

CrO4=1

We can see that the

Kand NO3

are imbalanced.

If we add a coefficient of 2 in front of the

KNO3

this will balance the equation.

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+K2CrO4(aq)→PbCrO4(s)+2KNO3(aq)
