CAIE IGCSE Chemistry 3.1.7 Construct symbol equations with state
Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 syllabus for exams in 2026, 2027 and 20282026–2028

Practise constructing ionic equations with state symbols for precipitation reactions involving common aqueous ions and solids.

How this is tested

  • write net ionic equations with only reacting ions on the left and the precipitate as product
  • apply state symbols to precipitation equations, usually (aq) + (aq) -> (s)

Question 5(a)(iii)

[Maximum number: 3]

Lead(II) bromide, PbBr2\mathrm{PbBr}_{2}, is an insoluble salt and is made by precipitation.

Write an ionic equation for the precipitation reaction which produces lead(II) bromide. Include state symbols.
