Answer : The balanced chemical reaction will be,


Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Pb^(2+)(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the chemical reaction in which the number of individual atoms of an element in reactant side always be equal to the number of individual atoms of an element in product side.

The given balanced reaction will be,


Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Pb^(2+)(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)

By the stoichiometry we can say that, 1 mole of
Pb(NO_3)_2 dissociates into 1 mole of
Pb^(2+) ion and 2 moles of
NO_3^- ions.

Hence, the balanced chemical reaction will be,


Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Pb^(2+)(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)
