Question

When the water flows through the pipe, you will also get a reaction between dissolved lead cations located near the surface of the lead pipe and dissolved calcium carbonate to form solid lead carbonate. What type of reaction is this? Write the complete ionic equation for this reaction and the net ionic equation. What is the spectator ion in this case?

Explanation / Answer

Pb2+(aq) + Ca(2+)(aq) + CO3(2-)(aq) = PbCO3(s) + Ca2+(aq)( complete ionic reaction )

Pb2+(aq) + CO3(2-)(aq) = PbCO3 (s) ( net ionic reaction)

Here spectator ions are Ca2+(aq)
