Question

Complete the following steps.

Remember to follow lower numbered rules first.
Na2CO3(aq) + Pb(OH)2(aq) → NaOH (?) + PbCO3(?)
a. Write a balanced chemical equation. (1 pt)
b. If a reaction occurs, write the balanced
chemical equation with the proper states of matter
(i.e. solid, liquid, aqueous) filled in. If no reaction
occurs, write “No reaction.” (1 pt)
c. If a reaction occurs, write the net ionic equation
for the reaction. If no reaction occurs, write "no
reaction.” (1 pt)

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The balanced reaction equation is;

Na2CO3(aq) + Pb(OH)2(aq) -----> 2 NaOH + PbCO3

b) When we include states of matter;

Na2CO3(aq) + Pb(OH)2(aq) -----> 2 NaOH(aq) + PbCO3 (s)

c) Complete ionic equation;

2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) + Pb^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ----> 2Na^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) + PbCO3(s)

Net Ionic equation;

Pb^2+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) ----> PbCO3(s)
