Question

What is observed when a solution of potassium iodide solution is added to a solution of lead nitrate? Name the type of reaction. Write a balanced chemical equation to represent the above chemical reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a solution of potassium iodide is added to a solution of lead nitrate taken in a test tube, the precipitation of a yellowish solid is observed. This yellowish solid is lead iodide. Potassium nitrate is formed along with lead iodide. This is a double displacement reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yellow precipitate of lead iodide is formed. It is precipitation reaction.

Pb( NO3)2 (aq) + 2KI (aq) —-> Pbl2 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq)

It is also called double displacement reaction.
