Question:

What is observed when a solution of potassium iodide is added to a solution of lead acetate in a test tube.

1. What type of reaction is this.

2. Write a balanced CHEMICAL equation to represent the above equation?

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.

When the two ionic compounds / elements exchange their ions is called Double Displacement Reaction.

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is:

Balanced Equation: Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI --- 2KNO3 + PbI2

Word Equation: lead nitrate + Potassium Iodide ---- Potassium Nitrate + Lead Iodide.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU
