Question

Identify the white color precipitate that forms when k2so4(aq) and pb(no3)2(aq) are mixed.

Answer 1

Here's your balanced chemical equation:

Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + K2SO4 (aq) ⇒ PbSO4 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq)

Therefore the precipitate formed is lead(II) sulfate.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lead (II) sulphate, $PbSO_4_{(s)}$

Explanation:

A precipitate reaction is one involving two aqueous reactants in which one of the products is a solid or a precipitate. It can also be defined as a reaction involving the formation of insoluble salt from mixture of two soluble salts.

The equation of reaction involving $K_2SO_4_{(aq)}$ and $Pb(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}$ is as follows:

$K_2SO_4_{(aq)} + Pb(NO_3)_2_{(aq)} ---> PbSO_4_{(s)} + 2KNO_3_{(aq)}$

The precipitate formed in this case is $PbSO_4_{(s)}$ because it is the only insoluble one of the two products.

Hence the white color precipitate that forms is $PbSO_4_{(s)}$
