Question

Write balanced chemical equations for Action of dilute $HCl$ on Lead acetate solution.

Answer 1

1. )Balancing chemical equation refers to balancing the number of atoms on the reactants and products side.
2. The balanced equation for the reaction of Lead acetate (Pb(CH₃COO)₂) solution with dilute Hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form Lead chloride (PbCl₂)and the acetic acid (CH₃COOH) solution is expressed as:
3. $\mathrm{Pb}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COO}\right)}_2+2\mathrm{HCI}\to {\mathrm{PbCl}}_2+{\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}$
4. The above reaction is an example of a Double displacement reaction.
