What type of reaction is zinc and lead II nitrate?Įxplanation: This is a single replacement (also called a single displacement) reaction involving the metals zinc and lead. Can zinc react with lead nitrate?ġ) Zinc and aqueous lead (II) nitrate react to form aqueous zinc nitrate and lead metal. When a metal from the electrochemical series is mixed with the ions of a metal lower down in the series, the atoms of the more reactive metal push their electrons on to ions of the less reactive metal. Zinc reacting with lead nitrate in a soft gel to form lead crystals.
