Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of lead (2) nitrate with sodium chloride.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Concept introduction:

When the cations and anions switch partners, they result in the formation of two new ionic compounds one of which is in the solid state. The solid product is an insoluble ionic compound called a precipitate.

Step 2

The rules for salts to be soluble in water are as follows:

Most of the nitrate salts are soluble
Salts containing the cation as alkali metal such as sodium, magnesium, rubidium etc and ammonium are said to be water soluble
Salts of bromide, chloride and iodide are said to be water soluble except in case of cations such as silver, lead and mercury
Most of the sulphate salts are soluble except barium sulphate, mercury sulphate, lead sulphate and calcium sulphate.
Most of the hydroxides are sparingly soluble except sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide
Most of the sulphide, carbonate, chromates and phospates are less soluble except those include in the rule 2.
