When a solution of potassium iodide is added to lead nitrate solution, then a precipitate is formed. This precipitate is of lead iodide which is yellow in colour. Thus
(a) A precipitate of lead iodide is observed. The colour of the precipitate formed is yellow.
(b) A balanced chemical equation for the reaction is shown as follows
2KI (aq) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) → PbI2 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq)
(c) the reaction is an example of double displacement reaction.
