Answer 1

Answer:

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq)  + 2NaCl (aq)  → PbCl₂ (s) ↓  + 2NaNO₃ (aq)

Explanation:

The reactants are:

Lead(II) nitrate → Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq)

Sodium chloride → NaCl (aq)

The products are:

Lead(II) chloride → PbCl₂ (s)

Sodium nitrate → NaNO₃ (aq)

Salts form nitrate are soluble. The chloride makes a precipitate with the Pb²⁺. The chemical equation for this reaction is:

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq)  + 2NaCl (aq)  → PbCl₂ (s) ↓  + 2NaNO₃ (aq)
