Solution
The correct option is CNO3− A precipitation reaction occurs when two ionic compounds react to produce a precipitate and an insoluble substance which stays in solution as spectator ion.
⟶ Ions that are not involved in the actual chemical reaction are called spectator ions.
⟶ Net ionic equation of given reaction is
Pb+2+2I−⟶PbI2 It shows only the ions which involves in the chemical reaction,
