Solid nickel reacts with aqueous lead (II) nitrate to form solid lead. What is the net ionic equation for this reaction? • Hint: In this reaction, nickel exhibits its most common oxidation state of +2. • Be sure to include the charge for each ion in the net ionic equation. Provide your answer below: (s) + (aq) → *(n)

Pb²⁺(aq) --> Ni²⁺(aq)

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as;

Ni(s) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) --> Pb(s) + Ni(NO₃)₂(aq)

In writing the ionic equation, we break the aqueous compound into ions. The solid and liquid compounds are ignored.

We have;

Pb²⁺(aq)  + NO₃²⁻(aq) -->  Ni²⁺(aq)  + NO₃²⁻(aq)

Canceling the spectator ions;

Pb²⁺(aq) --> Ni²⁺(aq)

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.
