What is the net ionic equation for the reaction between lead nitrate and sodium chloride?

Answer 1

Serenity Allen

Well............

#Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) rarr PbCl_2(s)darr + 2NaNO_3(aq)#

However, we only represent the net, macroscopic chemical change for the net ionic equation:

#Pb^(2+) + 2Cl^(-) rarr PbCl_2(s)darr#

#PbCl_2# is a white salt that is fairly insoluble in aqueous solution.

Lead(II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and sodium chloride (NaCl) react according to the following net ionic equation: Pb^2+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) → PbCl2(s)

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
