Lead Iodide Precipitation (Golden Rain)

Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI → PbI2↓ + 2KNO3

概要

Lead nitrate and potassium iodide form a bright yellow precipitate of lead iodide. When the hot mixture is cooled slowly, lead iodide crystallizes as golden shimmering plates, creating the spectacular golden rain demonstration. PbI₂ has a Ksp of 9.8 × 10⁻⁹ and is more soluble in hot water.
