When potassium iodide is added to a solution of lead nitrate, a yellow precipitate of lead iodide is formed. There is a change of color in this reaction.
This is a precipitation reaction, also known as 'double displacement' reaction as it is characterized by the formation of a precipitate.
It can be represented as:
Pb(NO³)² (aq) + 2KI (aq) → PbI² (s) + 2KNO³ (aq)
PS: The numerals will be in subscript.
