Interpretation :
Correct balanced complete ionic equation must be chosen for the reaction of an aqueous solution of lead (II) nitrate with an aqueous solution of potassium chloride.
Concept Introduction :
Lead nitrate reacts with potassium chloride to form the precipitate of lead chloride and aqueous potassium nitrate solution.
Answer to Problem 5STP
Correct answer: Option D is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: Option D is correct because in the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and potassium chloride solution a precipitate of lead chloride is produced along with aqueous solution of potassium nitrate.
Reasons for incorrect options: Option A is incorrect as it is not an ionic equation rather it is a molecular equation.
Option B is incorrect as PbCl2 is insoluble salt.
Option C is incorrect as KNO3 is a soluble salt.
