Question

write a net ionic equation for?

2KI + Pb(NO3)2 ==>2KNO3 + PbI2

This is my answer below

2I^- + NO3==>2No3 +I2^-

can anyone tell me if this is the correct answer

Answer 1

The reaction is:

KI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) --> 2KNO3(aq) + PbI2(s)
The net reaction is the formation of the PbI2(s) as a precipitate. You figure that by applying solubility rules of ionic compounds. The net reaction includes the ions that help form PbI2(s):

Pb^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq) --> PbI2(s)

Answer 2

the reaction is a metathesis therefore the ions are completely dissociated.
