Answer:

The answer to your question is KNO₃ + PbI₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Chemical reaction

KI + Pb(NO₃)₂ ⇒

Process

We know that this is a double displacement reaction because there are two reactants and each reactant has a cation and an anion (a positive atom and a negative atom or a polyatomic molecule).

To know the products just interchange the cations in each molecule considering the oxidation numbers.

K⁺¹I⁻¹ + Pb⁺²(NO₃)₂⁻¹ ⇒ K⁺¹NO₃⁻¹ + Pb⁺² I₂⁻¹

or

KI + Pb(NO₃)₂ ⇒ KNO₃ + PbI₂
