Which best describes the reaction that takes ace between between aqueous lead (ii) acetate and aqueous amino chloride ? 

**Chemical Reaction Description Exercise**

**Q19:** Which best describes the reaction that takes place between aqueous lead (II) acetate and aqueous ammonium chloride?

a. Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + NH₄Cl(aq) → PbCl(s) + NH₄(CH₃COO)₂(aq)

b. Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + 2NH₄Cl(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + 2NH₄CH₃COO(aq)

c. Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + 2NH₄Cl(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + (NH₄)₂(CH₃COO)₂(aq)

d. Pb₂CH₃COO(aq) + 2NH₄Cl(aq) → 2PbCl(s) + 2NH₄CH₃COO(aq)

e. Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + NH₄Cl(aq) → PbCl(s) + NH₄(CH₃COO)₂(aq)

---

In the answer choices above:
- **Pb** stands for lead.
- **CH₃COO** represents acetate.
- **NH₄** is ammonium.
- **Cl** is chloride.
- **aq** indicates an aqueous solution, meaning the compounds are dissolved in water.
- **s** denotes a solid.

Understanding and identifying the correct balanced chemical equation is crucial in analyzing the reaction that occurs. The proper balancing of the reactants and products ensures that the law of conservation of mass is obeyed, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
