Solution

It is a double displacement reaction.

$2 K I (a q .) + P b (N O_{3})_{2} (a q .) \to 2 K N O_{3} (a q .) + P b I_{2} (s)$

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
