Question

When you have mixed the solutions of lead(II) nitrate and potassium iodide.

(a) What was the colour of the precipitate formed and can you name the precipitate ?

(b) Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

(c) Is this also a double displacement reaction?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

So, the name of the compound precipitated is lead iodide and it is a yellow colour precipitate. (ii) The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is as follows: The chemical formula of lead (II) nitrate is Pb(NO3)2 and potassium iodide KI.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The precipitate is yellow in colour the compound is lead (II) Iodide.
• Pb (NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq) → PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq).
• Yes, it is a double displacement reaction
