Question

Sodium chloride solution is added to lead nitrate solution. Also write the chemical equation for in each case.

Answer 1

Reaction between Sodium chloride and Lead nitrate solution:

• When sodium chloride is added to the lead nitrate solution a precipitate of lead chloride and sodium nitrate is formed.
• The balanced chemical reaction can be represented as:

$\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{chloride}}{2\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Lead}\mathrm{nitrate}}{\mathrm{Pb}{\left({\mathrm{NO}}_3\right)}_2\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Lead}\mathrm{chloride}}{{\mathrm{PbCl}}_2\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\downarrow }+\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{nitrate}}{2{\mathrm{NaNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}$
