molecular equation for BaBr2 (aq) + PB(NO3)2 (aq) -> Ba(No3) + Pb(Br2) is that right or is it Ba(No3)2
Ba(NO3)2
Barium's Oxidation State is +2, Nitrate's Oxidation state is -1
Does that help?
Mel and Matt are right. I would suggest you write barium nitrate Ba(NO3)2, that's a capital O and not a small o.
The correct molecular equation for the reaction between BaBr2 (aq) and Pb(NO3)2 (aq) is:
BaBr2 (aq) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) -> Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + PbBr2 (s)
To determine the correct formula for the products, we need to consider the charges of the ions involved.
In the reactants, BaBr2 is made up of the cation Ba2+ and the anion Br-. Pb(NO3)2 consists of the cation Pb2+ and the polyatomic anion NO3-.
When these two compounds react, the cations and anions swap to form new compounds. The cation Ba2+ combines with the NO3- anion, resulting in the formation of Ba(NO3)2. Meanwhile, the cation Pb2+ combines with two Br- anions to form PbBr2.
Therefore, in the balanced molecular equation, Ba(NO3)2 and PbBr2 are the correct formulas for the products.
