Question

Consider the reaction when aqueous solutions of iron(II) chloride and lead(II) nitrate are combined. The net ionic equation for this reaction is:

Answer 1

Reactants : Iron(II)chloride , Lead(II)nitrate

Molecular reaction:

FeCl₂(aq)+Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) -- > Fe(NO₃)₂ (aq) +PbCl₂ (s)

Complete ionic equation

Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl^- (aq)+Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2 NO₃^- (aq) -- > Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 NO₃^- (aq)+PbCl₂ (s)

Net ionic equation

2Cl^- (aq)+Pb²⁺ (aq) -- > +PbCl₂ (s)

(spectator ions are cancelled from both side of equation.
