Answer:
Pb(NO₂)₂(aq) + 2 LiCl(aq) ⇒ PbCl₂(s) + 2 LiNO₂(aq)
Explanation:
Let's consider the reaction between aqueous lead (II) nitrite and aqueous lithium chloride to form solid lead (II) chloride and aqueous lithium nitrite.
Pb(NO₂)₂(aq) + LiCl(aq) ⇒ PbCl₂(s) + LiNO₂(aq)
This is a double displacement reaction. We will start balancing Cl by multiplying LiCl by 2.
Pb(NO₂)₂(aq) + 2 LiCl(aq) ⇒ PbCl₂(s) + LiNO₂(aq)
Now, we have to balance Li by multiplying LiNO₂ by 2.
Pb(NO₂)₂(aq) + 2 LiCl(aq) ⇒ PbCl₂(s) + 2 LiNO₂(aq)
The equation is now balanced.
Electron was discovered by J. J. Thomson in 1897 when he was studying the properties of cathode ray.
