2LiI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) ==> 2LiNO3(aq) + PbI2(s)
The lead iodide is an insoluble salt so will form a precipitate.

Yes, the LiNO3 would exist as Li+(aq) and NO3-(aq) but the question didn’t ask for the net ionic equation. And it isn’t that strong electrolyes dissolve completely in water but that they dissociate completely. So answer the question with Li+ ions aqueous, NO3- ions aqueous and PbI2 as a solid.

When I submitted this answer it says it was wrong and then says, "Did you remember that strong electrolytes dissolve completely in water? Remember to identify the ions that will form, and then use the solubility rules to determine which pair of ions (if any) will form a solid."02/11/19
