Question

Balance the equation for __Ca+__Pb(NO3)2—__Pb+__Ca(NO3)2

Answer 1

Answer:

Ca + Pb(NO3)2 → Pb + Ca(NO3)2

Explanation:

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

PbII + 2 e- → Pb0

(reduction)

Ca0 - 2 e- → CaII

(oxidation)

Pb(NO3)2 is an oxidizing agent, Ca is a reducing agent.
