Solution

Part 1: Double displacement reaction:-

  • A double displacement reaction is a chemical process in which ions are exchanged between the two reactants.

Part 2: Identify the sort of reaction :-

  • Potassium iodide reacts with lead nitrate to produce potassium nitrate and lead iodide. The reaction can be expressed as follow:
  • 2KI(aq.)Potassiumiodide+Pb(NO3)2(aq.)Leadnitrate2KNO3(aq.)Potassiumnitrate+PbI2(s)Leadiodide
  • Hence reaction of lead nitrate with Potassium iodide is an example of a double displacement reaction.
