Question

a chemical reaction is represented by the following word equation. zinc + lead(ll) nitrate ------> zinc nitrate + lead what are the products in this reaction? your answer a chemical reaction is represented by the following word equation. zinc + lead(ll) nitrate ------> zinc nitrate + lead what are the reactants in this reaction? your answer a chemical reaction is represented by the * following word equation. zinc + lead(ll) nitrate ------> zinc nitrate + lead what is the balanced equation for this reaction? your answer

Explanation:

1. Products

In a chemical reaction word equation, the substances on the right - hand side of the arrow are the products.

In a chemical reaction word equation, the substances on the left - hand side of the arrow are the reactants.

The chemical symbols: zinc is \(Zn\), lead(II) nitrate is \(Pb(NO_3)_2\), zinc nitrate is \(Zn(NO_3)_2\), and lead is \(Pb\).

Step1: Write the un - balanced equation

\(Zn+Pb(NO_3)_2
ightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2 + Pb\)

Step2: Check the number of atoms

• Zinc (\(Zn\)): 1 atom on both sides.
• Lead (\(Pb\)): 1 atom on both sides.
• Nitrate \((NO_3)\): 2 groups on both sides.

Since the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation, the equation is already balanced.

Answer:

zinc nitrate and lead
