Hint:First, you should see into the formulas for each of the 'fixings' to be certain you can think of them effectively. The formula for lead nitrate is Pb (NO3)2 and the formula for potassium chloride is KCl. Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2KCl(aq)PbCl2(s)+2KNO3(aq)

Complete step by step answer:
Presently you can start to compose the equation for the reaction between these two mixes.
Pb(NO3)2+ KCl
Next you embed a bolt to show the heading of the reaction:
Pb(NO3)2+ KCl 
Next you record the most probable reaction items. For this situation the two cations will switch their anions.
Pb(NO3)2+ KCl  PbCl + K(NO3)
Presently, the standard in adjusting a chemical equation is that you should have the very same number of particles on each side of the equation. As should be obvious, we don't have a similar number of (NO3)particles, so we should fix that. Since we need something more (NO3)on the right-hand side, we should make that two atoms of potassium nitrate.
Pb(NO3)2+ KCl  PbCl + 2K(NO3)
That fixes the (NO3) issue, yet now we have such a large number of potassium iotas on the right-hand side, so how about we add one more on the left side.
Pb(NO3)2+ 2KCl  PbCl + 2K(NO3)
Alright, that fixes the potassium balance, yet now we have such a large number of chlorides on the left. However, we have another issue. The right formula for lead chloride is PbCl2so we should make that rectification.
Pb(NO3)2+ 2KCl  PbCl2 + 2K(NO3)
We currently have 1 particle of Pb on each side and 2 nitrate particles (NO3) on each side and 2 iotas of potassium on each side and two chloride particles on each side. This is presently a decent equation for the reaction of lead nitrate and potassium chloride.

Note:
Chemistry is an exploratory science and this is something that you should learn. All halides are dissolvable, Except for lead (II) chloride, mercurous chloride(Hg2Cl2), and silver chlorideAgCl.
