Equal volumes of 0.2 M solutions of lead(II) nitrate and potassium bromide are combined to form lead(II) bromide as a yellow precipitate. Which of the following is the correct net ionic equation for the reaction?

• Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2 Br⁻ (aq) → PbBr₂ (s)

• K⁺ (aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) → KNO₃ (aq)

• Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2 NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2 K⁺ (aq) + 2 Br⁻ (aq) → 2 K⁺ (aq) + 2 NO₃⁻ (aq) + PbBr₂ (s)

A student was studying physical and chemical changes. The student carried out some procedures in the laboratory and recorded observations. For one of the procedures, the student concluded that a physical change took place, but not a chemical change. Which of the following could have been the results of the procedure?

• A cube of metal was changed into a flat sheet of metal.

• When two liquids at room temperature were combined in a beaker, the beaker became hot.

• When two clear liquids were combined, the resulting mixture was cloudy.

• When a colorless liquid was added to a blue liquid, the resulting solution was yellow.
