Question

Identify the white color precipitate that forms when k2so4(aq) and pb(no3)2(aq) are mixed.

Answer 1

Here's your balanced chemical equation:

Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + K2SO4 (aq) ⇒ PbSO4 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq)

Therefore the precipitate formed is lead(II) sulfate.

Answer 2

Lead (II) sulphate,
`PbSO_4_((s))`

Step-by-step explanation:

A precipitate reaction is one involving two aqueous reactants in which one of the products is a solid or a precipitate. It can also be defined as a reaction involving the formation of insoluble salt from mixture of two soluble salts.

The equation of reaction involving
`K_2SO_4_((aq))` and
`Pb(NO_3)_2_((aq))` is as follows:

`K_2SO_4_((aq)) + Pb(NO_3)_2_((aq)) ---> PbSO_4_((s)) + 2KNO_3_((aq))`

The precipitate formed in this case is
`PbSO_4_((s))` because it is the only insoluble one of the two products.

Hence the white color precipitate that forms is
`PbSO_4_((s))`
