Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between an aqueous solution of lead(II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and aqueous sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) is as follows:

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) → 3NaNO3(aq) + Pb3(PO4)2(s)

This reaction produces lead(II) phosphate (Pb3(PO4)2) as a solid precipitate.
