Question

Sodium nitrate and lead (ii) acetate express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. enter noreaction if no no reaction occurs.

Answer 1

Sodium nitrate reacts with lead acetate to form sodium acetate and lead nitrate. The chemical equation can be represented as:

2NaNO3(aq) + Pb(CH3COO)2(aq) → Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2CH3COONa(aq)

Sodium nitrate = aqueous phase

Lead acetate= aqueous phase

Lead nitrate = aqueous phase

Sodium acetate = aqueous phase

Answer 2

Answer: $2NaNO_3(aq)+(CH_3COO)_2Pb(aq)\rightarrow 2CH_3COONa(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)$

Explanation: A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

The compounds which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

Thus the exchange of ions take place and all the compounds are soluble so the chemical formulas are followed by the symbol (aq).
