Chapter 9, Problem 55E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction of nitric acid with solid lead $\left(\text{II}\right)$ hydroxide is redox or precipitation reaction is to be predicted. The net ionic equation for the possible reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place at the same time is known as a redox reaction. The single-replacement reaction which is involved in a redox reaction gives element and salt as the final products.
