Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The unbalanced net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous lead nitrate and aqueous potassium iodide is Pb2+(aq) + I-(aq) → PbI2(s). This is because the lead and iodide ions are the only ions that participate in the reaction. The nitrate and potassium ions are spectator ions and do not participate in the reaction.
