Question

Represent the reaction between lead nitrate and sodium sulfate in aqueous solution?

Answer 1

I think you mean the `Pb(II+)` salt and not the `Pb(IV+)` salt....

Explanation:

And thus we rewrite the reaction as....

`Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + Na_2SO_4(aq) rarr PbSO_4(s)darr + 2NaNO_3(aq)`

The net ionic equation is....

`Pb^(2+) + SO_4^(2-) rarr PbSO_4(s)darr`

The spectator ions are `NO_3^(-)`, and `Na^+`, which hang around in solution and enjoy the show...
