Question

When a magnesium bromide solution is mixed with a lead(II) nitrate solution, a precipitate forms. Determine the balanced molecular equation, the
complete ionic equation, and the net ionic equation.

Answer 1

Reaction :

MgBr₂(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → PbBr₂(s) + Mg(NO₃)₂(aq)

Further explanation

The electrolyte in the solution produces ions.

The equation of a chemical reaction can be expressed in the equation of the ions

For strong electrolytes (the ionization rate = 1) is written in the form of separate ions, while the weak electrolyte (degree of ionization <1) is still written as an un-ionized molecule

In the ion equation, there is a spectator ion that is the ion which does not change (does not react) because it is present before and after the reaction

When these ions are removed, the ionic equation is called the net ionic equation

For gases and solids including water (H₂O) can be written as an ionized molecule

A molecular equation is a chemical equation expressed as a molecule

So only the dissolved compound is ionized ((expressed in symbol aq)

Reaction

• The balanced molecular equation

MgBr₂(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → PbBr₂(s) + Mg(NO₃)₂(aq)

• The  complete ionic equation

Mg²⁺(aq)+2Br⁻(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq)+2NO₃⁻(aq)⇒PbBr₂(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)+2NO₃⁻(aq)

spectator ions : Mg²⁺(aq) and 2NO₃⁻(aq)

• The net ionic equation (remove the spectator ions)

2Br⁻(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq)⇒PbBr₂(s)

Answer 2

The balanced molecular equation:

MgBr₂(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → PbBr₂(s) + Mg(NO₃)₂(aq)

The  complete ionic equation:

Mg²⁺(aq)+2Br⁻(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq)+2NO₃⁻(aq)⇒PbBr₂(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)+2NO₃⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation

2Br⁻(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq)⇒PbBr₂(s)

Balanced molecular reaction:

A chemical equation in which the number of each type of atom is equal on the two sides of the equation. Subscripts - Part of the chemical formulas of the reactants and products that indicate the number of atoms of the preceding element. A reaction that contains the stoichiometric ratios of the reactants and products; these ratios can be used for mole -to-mole conversions.

Thus, the reactions when a magnesium bromide solution is mixed with a lead(II) nitrate solution, a precipitate forms is given above.
