Answer : To balance a chemical equation you need to find the same number of molecules on both the sides of the reaction.

Here in the reaction ;


KI + Pb (NO_(3))_(2)----\ \textgreater \ Pb I_(2) + KNO_(3)

here we can see that I is not balanced so we need to balance that,
also nitrate is unbalanced we need to work on that as well.

so on solving we get,

2KI + Pb (NO_(3))_(2)----\ \textgreater \ Pb I_(2) + 2KNO_(3)
