Answer 1

The reaction is as follows

Lead Chloride formed here is the solid precipitate and this reaction is an example of double displacement reaction where the two soluble ionic compounds that are Sodium Chloride and Lead(2) Nitrate reacts to form the insoluble solid precipitate of Lead Chloride.

Hence the given reaction fits into the category of double displacement reaction.
