Can somebody work through this chem 1 problem and show me how to do it?

Question

I need this equation balanced. Please work through all steps.

Lead IV + Chromium III nitrate -->

Answer 1

Wrong category. Try Science and Math.

Answer 2

well you cant balance it util you figure out what reaction is going to happen- looking at it i thinks its a single displacement reaction where a metal displaces another metal

1. so next you have to make sure Pb can displace Cr
which it cant because Chromium is more reactive than lead and a less reactive metal cant replace a more reactive so therefore there willbe no reaction

but if you still want the formula here it is

Pb + Cr(NO3)3

the three are subscripts---
