Solution of lead (ll) nitrate min with the solution of potassium iodide and to form precipitate of lead (ll) iodide and potassium nitrate solution
Answers
Explanation:
Balancing chemical equation refers to balancing the stoichiometric coefficients on the reactants and products side. This must be done as the chemical equation obeys the law of conservation of mass and momentum.
Reaction between lead nitrate and potassium iodide
The reaction between lead nitrate and potassium iodide is an example of a precipitation reaction.
Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI + PbI2 + 2KNO3
Steps to balance chemical equation
Following are the easy steps to balance the equation:
Step 1: Write the Unbalanced Chemical Equation
Let us consider an unbalanced equation
Pb(NO3)2 + KI → PbI2 + KNO3
Step 2: Write Down Number of Atoms
Write down the number of atoms of each element present on both reactant as well as product side
Atom Reactant side Product side
Pb 1 1
I 1 2
N 2 1
O 6 3
