Question

Identify the correct net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when solutions of Pb(NO3)2 and NH4Cl are mixed.

Answer 1

Answer:

Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl–(aq) ----> PbCl2(s)

Explanation:

The net ionic equation shows the main reaction that takes place in a system. Hence, a net ionic equation focusses only on those species that actually participate in the reaction.

For the reaction between Pb(NO3)2 and NH4Cl , the net ionic equation is;

Pb^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) ---> PbCl2(s)
