1. Write the Chemical Formulas:
* Lead(IV) sulfate: Pb(SO₄)₂
* Tin(II) chlorate: Sn(ClO₃)₂
2. Identify the Ions Involved:
* Lead(IV) sulfate dissociates into Pb⁴⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ions.
* Tin(II) chlorate dissociates into Sn²⁺ and ClO₃⁻ ions.
3. Predict the Products Using a Double Displacement Reaction:
In a double displacement reaction, the positive ions (cations) switch partners. This means:
* Pb⁴⁺ will combine with ClO₃⁻ to form lead(IV) chlorate (Pb(ClO₃)₄).
* Sn²⁺ will combine with SO₄²⁻ to form tin(II) sulfate (SnSO₄).
4. Balance the Chemical Equation:
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:
Pb(SO₄)₂ + 2 Sn(ClO₃)₂ → Pb(ClO₃)₄ + 2 SnSO₄
Therefore, the newly formed compounds are lead(IV) chlorate (Pb(ClO₃)₄) and tin(II) sulfate (SnSO₄).
