Answer: The chemical equation is written below.
Explanation:
Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.
The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

When lead nitrate is reacted with zinc metal, it leads to the formation of zinc nitrate and solid lead.
The chemical equation for the above reaction follows:
[tex]Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2(aq.)+Pb(s)[/tex]
As, zinc lies above in the reactivity series than lead, so it will easily displace lead from its chemical reaction.
Hence, the chemical equation is written above.
