Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a chemical equation to be balanced,two things would be a factor:

1.The same radicals on both side of equation.

2.The radical on only one side of equation.

Since the equation has radicals on both side,we count it as one unit.Then balance the most complex,Pb(NO3)2 and KNO3 in this case,and the least complex on the last.

I know thst it is really hard at first to solve it but follow the instuction carefully.

Please rate it,Thanks.
