Chapter 8, Problem 24E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation for reaction of cobalt $\left(\text{III}\right)$ iodide and lead $\left(\text{II}\right)$ nitrate solutions that form a precipitate is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In a balanced chemical equation, all the reactants and products are written with their stoichiometric coefficients and their physical states. The number of atoms of an element on both sides of a balanced chemical equation is equal. Double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reactions in which the exchange of ions takes place between the reactants. In double replacement reactions, sometimes a solid compound which settles down is formed. Such reactions are known as precipitation reactions.
