Problem

A student mixes 0.100 L0.100\,\text{L} of 0.200 M0.200\,\text{M} lead(II) nitrate solution with 0.150 L0.150\,\text{L} of 0.150 M0.150\,\text{M} potassium iodide solution at 25 ∘C25\,^{\circ}\text{C}. A bright yellow solid appears immediately. (1) Write the balanced molecular equation for the reaction that occurs. (2) Write the corresponding complete ionic equation and the net ionic equation. (3) Identify the limiting reagent and calculate the mass of solid produced, assuming 100\% yield. (4) Classify the reaction type(s) that apply and justify each classification with explicit reference to the chemical evidence you have written in parts (a)–(c).
