When aqueous solutions of lead(II) nitrate and potassium iodide are mixed, what is the formula for the insoluble solid (precipitate) that forms?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The formula for the precipitate is PbI₂

Explanation:

The chemical reaction is:

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq)  +  2KI (aq)  →  2KNO₃ (aq) + PbI₂ (s)↓

All the iodides, with these cations (Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Cu⁺, Hg²⁺, Bi⁺³ and Sn⁺⁴) produce insolubles solid.
