Detailed Solution

The color of lead iodide (PbI₂) is bright yellow. It is a crystalline solid that is commonly formed as a precipitate in chemical reactions.

Lead iodide is typically produced when a solution of lead nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) reacts with potassium iodide (KI) in a double displacement reaction: Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2KI(aq)→PbI2(s)+2KNO3(aq)Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2KI (aq) \rightarrow PbI₂ (s) + 2KNO₃ (aq)Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2KI(aq)→PbI2(s)+2KNO3(aq)
The insoluble PbI₂ forms as a bright yellow precipitate, while potassium nitrate remains in the solution.
