In the reaction between lead(II) nitrate and sodium chloride, what, if any, are the spectator ions

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sonja [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Spectator ions are ions in a solution/reaction that do not take part in a chemical reaction (hence are called "spectator" ions). <u>They can be identified when they are found both in the reactant and product sides</u>.

The reaction between lead(II) nitrate, Pb(NO₃)₂ and sodium chloride, NaCl is illustrated below

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NaCl ⇒ PbCl₂ + 2NaNO₃

According to solubility rules, all the compounds above (with the exception of PbCl₂) are all soluble and would dissociate when involved in a reaction.

Hence, the ionic equation based on the description above will be

Pb²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ + 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻  ⇒  PbCl₂ + 2Na⁺ + 2NO₃⁻

From the above ionic equation, <u>it can be noted that both 2NO₃⁻ and 2Na⁺ are found on both the reactant and product side and are hence the spectator ions.</u>

Katarina [22]

Answer:

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have an <u>epoxide opening in acid medium</u>. The first step then is the <u>protonation of the oxygen</u>. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most <u>stable carbocation</u>. The nucleophile (CH_3OH) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is <u>deprotonated</u> to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule <u>(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Why is cold air cold?
Sholpan [36]

Explanation:

Energy makes molecules in the air move faster and expand, decreasing density. The opposite is true for cold air. Molecules are closer together, and absorb less energy.
