Given the balanced equation: Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) ➔ PbCl₂(s) + 2NaNO₃(aq). What type of reaction is represented by this equation

Respuesta :

Answer: The given reaction is a double displacement reaction.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which two different compounds chemically react with each other by switching places of both positive and negative ions is known as a double displacement reaction.

For example, [tex]Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) \rightarrow PbCl_2(s) + 2NaNO_3(aq)[/tex]

Here, both [tex]Pb^{2+}[/tex] and [tex]Na^{+}[/tex] ions switched places. Also, both [tex](NO_3)^{-}_{2}[/tex] and [tex]Cl^{-}[/tex] ions switched places.

Therefore, we can conclude that the given reaction is a double displacement reaction.
