Conor Levine · Answer 1

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)
