Solubility Rules can be used to determine if a chemical reaction between two aqueous solutions will produce a precipitate or not.

BaCl₂ (aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) --> Ba (NO₃)₂ (?) + PbCl₂ (?)

Multiple Select

BaCl₂ (aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) --> Ba (NO₃)₂ (?) + PbCl₂ (?)

According to solubility rules, what state is Ba (NO₃)₂ in?

• aqueous (soluble)

• solid (insoluble)

Multiple Select

BaCl₂ (aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) --> Ba (NO₃)₂ (?) + PbCl₂ (?)

According to solubility rules, what state is PbCl₂ in?

• aqueous (soluble)

• solid (insoluble)

You look at the products in the reaction, to determine if a precipitate is formed. The solid that is present is the precipitate!

BaCl₂ (aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) --> Ba (NO₃)₂ (aq) + PbCl₂ (s)
