#Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2NH_4Cl(aq) rarr PbCl_2(s)darr + 2NH_4NO_3(aq)#

And the net ionic equation only represents macroscopic change:

#Pb^(2+) + 2Cl^(-) rarr PbCl_2(s)darr#

I leave it to you to write the chemical equation in words.

And:

#2AlCl_3(aq) + 3Na_2CO_3(aq) rarr Al_2(CO_3)_3(s)darr + 6NaCl(aq)#

#2Al^(3+) + 3CO_3^(2-) rarr Al_2(CO_3)_3(s)darr#
