Answer:

Ni + Pb(NO₃)₂ → Ni(NO₃)₃ + Pb

Explanation:

We are required to write a balanced equation from the word equation;

  • Nickel reacts with lead nitrate (II) to produce nickel(III) nitrate and lead
  • The equation will be written by writing the symbols of the reactants and products.

That is;

Ni + Pb(NO₃)₂ → Ni(NO₃)₃ + Pb

We then balance the equation;

  • To balance the equation, we put appropriate coefficients on reactants and products, so that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
  • Thus, the balanced equation will be;

2Ni + 3Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2Ni(NO₃)₃ + 3Pb
