Lead(II) sulfate is precipitated from a mixture of water solutions of potassium sulfate and lead(II) nitrate. Write the word equation and balanced chemical equation for this double replacement reaction.
Word Equation:
Potassium sulfate + Lead(II) nitrate → Potassium nitrate + Lead(II) sulfate
Balanced Chemical Equation:
[tex] \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4(aq) + \text{Pb(NO}_3)_2(aq) \rightarrow 2\text{KNO}_3(aq) + \text{PbSO}_4(s) [/tex]
Answer (2)
Lead(II) sulfate precipitates from a double replacement reaction between potassium sulfate and lead(II) nitrate, formulated as: Pb(NO3)2(aq) + K2SO4(aq) → PbSO4(s) + 2 KNO3(aq). ;
The reaction between potassium sulfate and lead(II) nitrate results in the formation of Lead(II) sulfate and potassium nitrate. The balanced chemical equation is K 2 SO 4 ( a q ) + Pb(NO 3 ) 2 ( a q ) → PbSO 4 ( s ) + 2 KNO 3 ( a q ) . This double replacement reaction is characterized by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, Lead(II) sulfate.
