Is this balanced equation correct?

Post by Kragen »

This equation was in a question I was doing, but I don't think it's possible to balance?

Pb(NO3)2 + NaI -> Na(NO3)2 + PbI2

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaI(aq) = 2 NaNO3(aq) + PbI2(s)

Its the best i could come up with :)

@Gurongax,

Ah, I see, I had the equation wrong from the start, hence I couldn't balance it, thank you very much! :)
