Write the complete formula equation for lead(II) nitrate reacting with sodium chloride in solution to produce solid lead(II) chloride and aqueous sodium nitrate.
Ans. Balanced reaction: Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaCl(aq) -------> PbCl2(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq)
Stoichiometry: 1 mol lead(II) nitrate reactions with 2 mol NaCl to produce 1 mol lead(II) chloride and 2 mol sodium nitrate.
