In the following reaction, when the equation is correctly balanced, what is the correct coefficient for sodium chloride? Pb(NO3)2(aq) + NaCl(aq) → PbCl2 (s) + NaNO3(aq) In the following reaction, when the equation is correctly balanced, what is the correct coefficient for sodium chloride? Pb(NO3)2(aq) + NaCl(aq) → PbCl2 (s) + NaNO3(aq) 1 2 3 4 5

Respuesta :

Answer: Thus the correct coefficient for sodium chloride is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

[tex]Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaCl(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)[/tex]

Thus the correct coefficient for sodium chloride is 2.
