Lead(II) nitrate reacts with cesium sulfate in an aqueous precipitation reaction. What are the formulas of lead(II) nitrate and cesium sulfate? Write the molecular equation and net ionic equation for the reaction. What are the names of the products? Give the molecular equation for another reaction that produces the same precipitate.

This is a precipitation reaction: PbSO4 is the formed precipitate.
