Does a reaction occur when aqueous solutions of chromium(III) chloride and lead(II) nitrate are combined?

Question

Hi, I have been trying this one but I get it wrong in the net ionic equation.

Thanks for your help, appreciat it.

Does a reaction occur when aqueous solutions of chromium(III) chloride and lead(II) nitrate are combined?

Three blank spaces to write the net ionic equation

Answer 1

A reaction does occur. both CrCl3 and Pb(NO3)2 are soluble in water so they will split up into ions. The double replacement reaction will yield (through inside/outside recombination) PbCl2 and Cr(NO3)3. All compounds with NO3- ions are soluble however, the PbCl2 compound is insoluble. Balancing the equation and eliminating all spectator ions will result in a net ionic equation of: 3Pb+2 + 6Cl- --> 3PbCl2

I hope this answered your question.
