Question

The reactants of two chemical equations are listed. Equation 1: PbNO3 + Mg Equation 2: PbNO3 + KI Based on the type of reaction, which reaction can be used to extract lead metal from lead nitrate solution? (5 points)

Group of answer choices

Equation 2, because K being more reactive, exchanges position with Pb in PbNO3

Equation 2, because K being more reactive, exchanges position with N in PbNO3

Equation 1, because Mg being more reactive, replaces N from PbNO3

Equation 1, because Mg being more reactive, replaces Pb from PbNO3

    Answer:

    Equation 2, because K being more reactive, exchanges position with Pb in PbNO3.

    Explanation:

    Hello there!

    In this case, according to the given reactions, it is possible to realize that according to the reactivity series, since K is is group 1A of alkali metals, we infer it is by far more reactive than magnesium, for that reason last two choices can be easily discarded. Now, considering equation 2, it would be necessary to complete it to figure out the correct option:

    Pb(NO_3)_2 + KI \rightarrow PbI_2+KNO_3

    Whereas it can be seen that potassium exchanges position with Pb according to the double displacement reaction; therefore, the correct answer is “Equation 2, because K being more reactive, exchanges position with Pb in PbNO3“.

    Best regards!
