Input interpretation
ZnSO_4 zinc sulfate + Pb lead ⟶ Zn zinc + PbSO_4 lead(II) sulfate
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: ZnSO_4 + Pb ⟶ Zn + PbSO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 ZnSO_4 + c_2 Pb ⟶ c_3 Zn + c_4 PbSO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for O, S, Zn and Pb: O: | 4 c_1 = 4 c_4 S: | c_1 = c_4 Zn: | c_1 = c_3 Pb: | c_2 = c_4 Since the coefficients are relative quantities and underdetermined, choose a coefficient to set arbitrarily. To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | ZnSO_4 + Pb ⟶ Zn + PbSO_4

Rate of reaction
Construct the rate of reaction expression for: ZnSO_4 + Pb ⟶ Zn + PbSO_4 Plan: • Balance the chemical equation. • Determine the stoichiometric numbers. • Assemble the rate term for each chemical species. • Write the rate of reaction expression. Write the balanced chemical equation: ZnSO_4 + Pb ⟶ Zn + PbSO_4 Assign stoichiometric numbers, ν_i, using the stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, from the balanced chemical equation in the following manner: ν_i = -c_i for reactants and ν_i = c_i for products: chemical species | c_i | ν_i ZnSO_4 | 1 | -1 Pb | 1 | -1 Zn | 1 | 1 PbSO_4 | 1 | 1 The rate term for each chemical species, B_i, is 1/ν_i(Δ[B_i])/(Δt) where [B_i] is the amount concentration and t is time: chemical species | c_i | ν_i | rate term ZnSO_4 | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[ZnSO4])/(Δt) Pb | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[Pb])/(Δt) Zn | 1 | 1 | (Δ[Zn])/(Δt) PbSO_4 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[PbSO4])/(Δt) (for infinitesimal rate of change, replace Δ with d) Set the rate terms equal to each other to arrive at the rate expression: Answer: | | rate = -(Δ[ZnSO4])/(Δt) = -(Δ[Pb])/(Δt) = (Δ[Zn])/(Δt) = (Δ[PbSO4])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
