What is the yellow powder made from lead nitrate and potassium iodide uses?

The yellow product of reaction is lead (II) iodide, PbI2. It was used as the pigment in yellow paint, just as lead (II) oxide was the pigment in white paint. However, since these compounds were linked to lead poisoning, this procedure was discontinued. Currently, lead iodide is used as a detector for high energy photons, like x-rays or gamma rays, as the lead atom is very large.

What is observed when a solution of potassium iodide is added to silver nitrate solution?
A yellow precipitate of silver iodide (AgI).
What happens when a solution of potassium iodide is added to a solution of lead nitrate taken in a test tube?
Lead iodide (Pb2I) precipitates as a yellow solid, leaving a solution of potassium and nitrate ions.
What is the evidence that a chemical reaction occured in silver nitrate and potassium iodide?
A yellow precipitate of silver iodiode (AgI) is formed.
Potassium iodide plus lead nitrate?
Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaI = PbI2 = 2NaNO3 Lead iodide is a yellow precipitate.
What react to lead II nitrate and sodium iodide to make lead iodide and sodium nitrate?
Produces yellow Lead(II) iodide and Sodium nitrate
What happens when potassium iodide and lead nitrate are combined?
potassium nitrate (aq) and lead iodide (s) are formed to create a yellow cloudy substance in a yellow liquid that will settle as a powder.
What precipitate form when potassium iodide and lead nitrate react?
A yellow Lead(II) iodide precipitate
Why do you prepare lead iodide from lead nitrate?
Pour a solution of Sodium(or Potassium) Iodide over Lead nitrate solution. The Lead iodide will be precipitated out as a yellow solid
What is observed when a solution of potassium iodide is added to silver nitrate solution?
A yellow precipitate of silver iodide (AgI).
Reacting lead II nitrate solution with potassium iodide solution?
This is a double displacement reaction. 2KI + Pb(NO3)2 --> 2KNO3 + PbI2 Potassium iodide + Lead(II) nitrate --> Potassium nitrate + Lead(II) iodide A bright yellow precipitate will form when these two react.
What happens when a solution of potassium iodide is added to a solution of lead nitrate taken in a test tube?
Lead iodide (Pb2I) precipitates as a yellow solid, leaving a solution of potassium and nitrate ions.
When potassium iodine is placed in lead nitrate what is the color of the residue?
Yellow; the insoluble precipitate Lead(II) iodide is created
What is the evidence that a chemical reaction occured in silver nitrate and potassium iodide?
A yellow precipitate of silver iodiode (AgI) is formed.
Potassium iodide plus lead nitrate?
Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaI = PbI2 = 2NaNO3 Lead iodide is a yellow precipitate.
Why does potassium iodide and lead nitrate form a yellow substance?
The reaction of potassium iodide (KI) and lead nitrate, Pb(NO3)2 is a double displacement reaction. It looks like this: 2KI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) ==> PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq). Note that PbI2 is a solid, and it happens to have a yellow color.
What react to lead II nitrate and sodium iodide to make lead iodide and sodium nitrate?
Produces yellow Lead(II) iodide and Sodium nitrate
What happens when you mixed Lead Nitrate with Sodium Iodide?
A precipitate of yellow Lead iodide and Sodium nitrate are formed
