Expert Solution
Step 1

Reaction of Pb(NO3)2 with NaCl :

Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaCl --> PbCl2 + 2NaNO3

Double Displacement Reaction takes place.

Step 2

Reaction of KNO3 + NaCl :

KNO3 + NaCl --> No Reaction 

When KNO3 combines with NaCl there is no precipitate forms, no gas evolves and no temperature change takes place.

There is just a solution which contains all the 4 ions i.e. Na+1, Cl-1, K+1, NO3-1.
