Question

1. Write the word equation for the reaction occurring between lead nitrate and sodium chloride. 2. From your answer in 1 write a balance chemical equation showing all state symbols. 3. Then write the ionic equation for the react ion occurring.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Word Equation

Lead Nitrate + Sodium Chloride --> Lead Chloride + Sodium Nitrate

Balanced Chemical Equation

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

Ionic Equation

In an ionic equation, the aqueous species in the reaction are broken up into ions.

2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻  + Pb²⁺  + 2NO₃⁻  → PbCl2 (s)  + 2Na⁺ +  2NO₃⁻
