NH3 + Pb(NO3)2 ->
How can I find the product and the net ionic equation?
I suspect this is in a water solution, so the lead nitrate is in solution, but NH3 will react with the water to form ammonium ions, and hydroxide ions. The lead ions will react with the hydroxide ions to precipate out lead hydroxide, and that is the net ionic equation.
To find the products of the reaction between NH3 (ammonia) and Pb(NO3)2 (lead nitrate), we need to consider their chemical formulas and their respective charges. The balanced equation for the reaction is:
2NH3 + Pb(NO3)2 -> Pb(OH)2 + 2NH4NO3
To determine the net ionic equation, it is necessary to consider the aqueous nature of the reactants and products. In this case, we have:
NH3 (aq) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) -> Pb(OH)2 (s) + 2NH4NO3 (aq)
Thus, the net ionic equation for the reaction is:
NH3 (aq) + Pb2+ (aq) + 2OH- (aq) -> Pb(OH)2 (s) + 2NH4+ (aq)
In this net ionic equation, we eliminate the spectator ions (ions that are not involved in the chemical change) and only consider the species that are actually reacting. Pb2+ (lead ion) and OH- (hydroxide ion) combine to form Pb(OH)2 (lead hydroxide) which is in solid form, while NH3 (ammonia) reacts with water (H2O) forming ammonium ions (NH4+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).
To find the product and the net ionic equation for the reaction between NH3 (ammonia) and Pb(NO3)2 (lead(II) nitrate), you need to determine the products formed when these compounds react.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
NH3 + Pb(NO3)2 -> NH4NO3 + Pb(OH)2
Now, we can break down the reaction and identify the net ionic equation by considering the properties of the compounds involved.
NH3 (ammonia) is a weak base, and in water solution, it reacts with water to form ammonium ions (NH4+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).
Pb(NO3)2 (lead(II) nitrate) dissociates into lead ions (Pb2+) and nitrate ions (NO3-).
Since Pb(OH)2 (lead(II) hydroxide) is insoluble in water, it forms a precipitate.
The final net ionic equation is:
2 NH3 + Pb2+ -> Pb(OH)2 + 2 NH4+
This net ionic equation represents the essential species involved in the reaction and shows the overall chemical transformation.
