(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction of potassium chromate and lead nitrate has to be classified as precipitation, acid-base or gas –forming reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Double replacement reactions: This type of reactions occurs when the cations and the anions switch between two reactants to form new products. In order for the reaction to occur, one of the products is usually a solid precipitate, a gas or a molecular compound.
Acid-Base reactions: A
(a)

Answer to Problem 10.60P
The reaction of potassium chromate and lead nitrate is precipitation reaction.
Explanation of Solution
The product of the reaction between aqueous lead (II) nitrate and aqueous potassium chromate is lead chromate and potassium nitrate. The completed equation is,
The balanced equation is,
The reaction of potassium chromate and lead nitrate is precipitation reaction. An insoluble salt, lead chromate is formed as precipitate.
