Lead nitrate = Pb[NO]₂ and
Potassium Iodide = KI is observed.

When Lead Nitrate and Potassium Iodide are mixed we get Potassium Nitrate and an insoluble solid [ precipitate ] lead iodide.
Colour of the precipitate formed is Yellow [ Lead Iodide ]

KI + Pb[NO₃]₂ -----> KNO₃ + PbI₂
-----> UNBALANCED EQUATION

2Kl+ Pb[NO₃]₂ -----> 2KNO₃ + PbI₂
----> BALANCED EQUATION

This is an example of double displacement reaction.

Also, as yellow precipitate is formed, this is also an example of precipitation reaction
