Write the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous sodium sulfate with aqueous lead(II) nitrate. Include phases.

net ionic equation:

Respuesta :

Space

Answer:

SO₄²⁻ (aq) + Pb²⁺ (aq) → PbSO₄ (s)

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Solubility Rules

Explanation:

Step 1: RxN

Na₂SO₄ (aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) → PbSO₄ (s) + NaNO₃ (aq)

Step 2: Balance RxN

Na₂SO₄ (aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) → PbSO₄ (s) + 2NaNO₃ (aq)

Step 3: Ionic Equations

Total Ionic Equation:

2Na⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) + Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ → PbSO₄ (s) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq)

Cancel out spectator ions.

Net Ionic Equation:

SO₄²⁻ (aq) + Pb²⁺ (aq) → PbSO₄ (s)
