Answer:
2 I⁻(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq) ⇒ PbI₂(s)
Explanation:
Let's consider the molecular equation of ammonium iodide with lead (II) nitrate to form lead (II) iodide and ammonium nitrate. Lead (II) iodide has a low solubility.
2 NH₄I(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ PbI₂(s) + 2 NH₄NO₃(aq)
The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and the species that do not dissociate in water.
2 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) ⇒ PbI₂(s) + 2 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq)
The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the species that do not dissociate in water.
2 I⁻(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq) ⇒ PbI₂(s)
