When Solutions of KCl and Pb(NO₃)₂ Are Mixed, a Precipitate

Multiple Choice

When solutions of KCl and Pb(NO₃) ₂ are mixed, a precipitate forms. Which of the following is the balanced equation for the double replacement reaction that occurs?

A) KCl(aq) + Pb(NO₃) ₂(aq) → KNO₃(aq) + PbCl₂(s)
B) KNO₃(aq) + PbCl₂(s) → KCl(aq) + Pb(NO₃) 2(aq)
C) K+(aq) + NO₃^-(aq) → KNO₃(aq)
D) 2KCl (aq) + Pb(NO₃) ₂(aq) → 2KNO₃(aq) + PbCl₂(s)
E) KCl(aq) + Pb(NO₃) ₂(aq) → KNO₃(aq) + PbCl(s)
