What happens when sodium chloride is added to a solution containing lead(II) nitrate?

Answer 1

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

The resulting white precipitate of lead chloride, which is relatively insoluble, is the result of the given net ionic equation.

A white precipitate of lead(II) chloride forms when sodium chloride is added to a solution containing lead(II) nitrate, while sodium nitrate stays in solution. This reaction can be expressed chemically as follows: Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) → PbCl2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq).
