How to Determine the Products of Chemical Reactions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of predicting products for various chemical reactions involving lead(II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and other reactants. The individual seeks guidance on how to determine the products, emphasizing a desire to understand the underlying principles rather than simply obtaining answers. Key points include the importance of solubility rules in predicting whether a reaction will occur and what products will form. The conversation highlights the need for a foundational understanding of chemical reactions, including how to identify reactants and apply solubility rules to ascertain the formation of precipitates or soluble products.

I'm in an intro chem class right now and I honestly have no clue where I was when they talked about this BUT here goes... I have several spot tests that I have to come up with the formulas for, I have the reactants just have no clue what the products are. I understand how to balance formulas I just don't know the basics of how to put the damn things together... this is what I have so far (I have about 30 to figure out)-

Pb(NO3)2+K2CrO4→ _________
Pb(NO3)2+KSCN→ _________
Pb(NO3)2+NH4OH→ _________
Pb(NO3)2+DMG→ _________
Pb(NO3)2+HCl→ _________
Pb(NO )2+H2SO4→ _________


I'm not in anyway asking for just the answers I need to know how to actually do this. Thank you for your time and attention, any help is appreciated!

These all are just about solubility rules.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
