Question

What is the chemical name for the balanced equation? 2Al+3Pb(NO3)2=2Al(NO3)3+3Pb​

Answer 1

• The chemical name for reactant side:

Al - Aluminium, Pb(NO3)2 - Lead(II) nitrate.

• The chemical name for product side:

Al(NO3)3 - Aluminium nitrate, Pb - lead.

Step-by-step explanation:

• This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

3
`Pb^(II)` + 6 e- → 3
`Pb^(o)` (reduction)

2
`Al^(o)` - 6 e- → 2
`Al^(III)` (oxidation)

Pb(NO3)2 is an oxidizing agent, Al is a reducing agent.
