Answer to Question #214468 in Chemistry for Raeyden

Question

Write ionic equation for the reaction between: aqueous solution of barium chloride and lead nitrate.

Answer 1

barium chloride = BaCl₂

lead nitrate = Pb(NO₃)₂

Solution:

Balanced reaction equation:

BaCl₂(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + Ba(NO₃)₂(aq)

Complete ionic equation:

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃^-(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃^-(aq)

Net ionic equation:

Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) → PbCl₂(s)
