Question
where you have mixed the solutions of lead(II) nitrateand potassium iodide.(i) What was the colour of the precipitate formed? Can you name the compoundprecipitated?(ii) Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.(iii) Is this also a double displacement reaction?
Solution
(i) The colour of the precipitate formed is bright yellow. The compound precipitated is Lead (II) Iodide.
(ii) The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:
Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2KI (aq) -> PbI2 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq)
(iii) Yes, this is a double displacement reaction. In this reaction, the ions of the two reactants (lead nitrate and potassium iodide) exchange places to form two new compounds, lead iodide and potassium nitrate.
