It is a displacement reaction, due to the higher reactivity of lead.

The chemical reaction involved is: Pb + CuCl_2 \rightarrow PbCl_2 + Cu

Explanation:

  • The reaction of lead with copper chloride can be depicted by the following chemical equation:

Pb + CuCl_2 \rightarrow PbCl_2 + Cu

  • It can be seen that lead has taken the place of copper, or lead has displaced copper from its salt solution. Such types of reactions are called displacement reactions.
  • The reason behind the occurrence of such reaction is that lead is found to have higher reactivity than copper, hence, it can replace copper and form the corresponding salt.
