Step 1

We have a chemical reaction between potassium iodide and mercury(I)\textrm{(I)} nitrate aqueous solutions (which are the reactants on the left side) that will produce potassium nitrate aqueous solution and solid mercury(I)\textrm{(I)} iodide (products on the right side), so we need to convert the names to formulas and specify the symbols in order to give the correct skeleton equation that describes this chemical reaction.

KI(aq) + HgNO3(aq)KNO3(aq) + HgI(s)\text{KI(aq) + HgNO}_3\text{(aq)} \longrightarrow \text{KNO}_3\text{(aq) + HgI(s)}
