What is the balanced equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and sodium chloride?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2+2NaCl \to PbCl2+NaNO3

Explanation:

Lead(II) nitrate is [tex]$Pb(NO_{3})_{2}$[/tex]

Sodium Chloride is  [tex]$NaCl$[/tex]

This is a double displacement reaction. Hence anions or cations of both the compounds are displaced to form the products.

[tex]Pb^{+2}$  and $Cl^{-}$ combine to form PbCl_{2}[/tex]

[tex]Na^{+} and \,NO_{3}^{-} combine\, to\, form\, NaNO_{3}[/tex]

Therefore the balanced equation is

[tex]Pb(NO_{3})_{2}(aq)+2NaCl(aq) \to PbCl_{2}(s)+2NaNO_{3}(aq)[/tex]
