Hey there!:
Write the molecular equation for the reaction of MgSO4 with Pb(NO3)2 :
MgSO4(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) ---> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + PbSO4(s)
Write the total ionic equation for the reaction :
Mg²⁺ (aq) + SO₄⁻² (aq) + Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2 NO₃⁻¹ (aq) + PbSO₄(s)
Therefore:
Cancel the spectator ions on both sides:
Pb²⁺ (aq) + SO₄⁻² (aq) ---> PbSO4(s)
Hope that helps!
