Lead (2) iodide is an insoluble salt

What method can be used to prepare it

1 answer

One method to prepare lead (2) iodide would be to mix solutions of lead (2) nitrate and potassium iodide, which would result in the precipitation of lead (2) iodide. The reaction can be represented as follows:

Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI → PbI2 + 2KNO3

The insoluble lead (2) iodide would then be collected by filtration and washed to remove any remaining soluble impurities.
