Question

Consider the following precipitation reaction (balanced). precipitation reaction: 2NH4Br(aq)+Pb(C2H3O2)2(aq)⟶2NH4C2H3O2(aq)+PbBr2(s) Enter the balanced net ionic equation, including phases, for this reaction. net ionic equation:

Answer 1

Answer:

Pb2+ (aq) & 2Br- (aq) --> PbBr2 (s).

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Pb(C2H32O2)2 (aq) + 2 NH4Br (aq) --> 2NH4C2H3O2 (aq) + PbBr2 (s)

Ionic equation:

Pb+2(aq) + 2(C2H3O2)-1 (aq) + 2(NH4+) (aq) + 2Br-1 (aq) --> 2(NH4+) (aq) + 2(C2H3O2-) (aq) + PbBr2 (s)

2(NH4)+1(aq) & 2(C2H3O2)-1 (aq) cancel out from both sides, you are left with the net ionic equation :

Pb2+ (aq) & 2Br- (aq) --> PbBr2 (s).
