Question

When aqueous solutions of lead(ii) nitrate (pb(no3)2) and potassium phosphate (k3po4) are mixed, the products are solid lead(ii) phosphate and aqueous potassium nitrate. write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer. use the lowest possible whole number coefficients.)?

Answer 1

Hello)
3Pb(NO3)2 + 2K3PO4 = Pb3(PO4)2↓ + 6KNO3

Answer 2

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side will be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side. These equations follow law of conservation of mass.

The chemical equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and potassium phosphate follows:

$3Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2K_3PO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Pb_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6KNO_3(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of aqueous lead (II) nitrate reacts with 2 moles of aqueous solution of potassium phosphate to produce 1 mole of solid lead (II) phosphate and 6 moles of aqueous solution of potassium nitrate.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
