What are the products of this reaction? ( Show Work + Explain )

Question

KCl + Pb

The product would be There would be no reaction

I am pretty sure, but can you explain why please?

Answer 1

Sure.  If you look in the activity series of metals, you will find that K (potassium) is above (more active) than Pb (lead).  This means that Pb is NOT capable of replacing K in a reaction.  Thus, KCl(aq) + Pb(s) does NOT result in a replacement reaction, so NO REACTION is the answer.
