Respuesta :

Answer : The net ionic equation will be,

[tex]Pb^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)[/tex]

Explanation :

In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The same number of ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions.

The given balanced ionic equation will be,

[tex]MgSO_4(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Mg(NO_3)_2(aq)+PbSO_4(s)[/tex]

The ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

[tex]Mg^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)+Pb^{2+}(aq)+2NO^{3-}(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)+Mg^{2+}(aq)+2NO^{3-}(aq)[/tex]

In this equation, [tex]Mg^{2+}\text{ and }NO_3^-[/tex] are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be,

[tex]Pb^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)[/tex]
