* Solubility: Both sodium chloride and lead chloride are soluble in water. This means they dissociate into their respective ions:
* NaCl(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)
* PbCl₂(aq) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)
* No Precipitate Formation: The ions in the solution remain dissolved. There is no combination of ions that forms an insoluble compound (a precipitate) that would cause a visible reaction.
Therefore, mixing solutions of sodium chloride and lead chloride results in a clear, colorless solution with all the ions still dissolved.
