Answer:
Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2I⁻ (aq) → PbI₂ (s)
General Formulas and Concepts:
- Solubility Rules
- Reaction Prediction
Explanation:
Step 1: RxN
Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + KI (aq) → PbI₂ (s) + KNO₃ (aq)
Step 2: Balance RxN
Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2KI (aq) → PbI₂ (s) + 2KNO₃ (aq)
Step 3: Ionic Equations
Total Ionic Equation:
Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2K⁺ (aq) + 2I⁻ (aq) → PbI₂ (s) + 2K⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq)
Cancel out spectator ions.
Net Ionic Equation:
Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2I⁻ (aq) → PbI₂ (s)
