The above equation describes the reaction process between lead (Pb) and silver nitrate (AgNO3). In this process, lead and silver nitrate react to form lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and silver (Ag). The number of moles of each substance involved in the reaction and produced has been balanced in the above chemical equation.
- Reaction conditions
The reaction between lead and silver nitrate can occur under standard temperature and pressure conditions and does not require a catalyst.
- Reaction process
The reaction process includes the following steps:
- Lead reacts with silver nitrate to produce lead nitrate and silver.
- Lead and silver nitrate interact with each other in a solution environment.
- The reaction continues until lead or silver nitrate is exhausted.
- Phenomena occurring
When the reaction occurs, we will see the phenomenon of precipitated pure silver (Ag), which means the appearance of silver particles sticking to the test tube wall. At the same time, the colorless solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) gradually turns silver due to the formation of lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2).
