It is a displacement reaction, due to the higher reactivity of lead.
The chemical reaction involved is:
Explanation:
- The reaction of lead with copper chloride can be depicted by the following chemical equation:
- 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.
