Question

Convert the following:
a) Lead oxide to lead chloride

Answer 1

Answer:

Lead oxide is treated with dilute nitric acid to get soluble lead nitrate. This Lead nitrate is treated with soluble metallic chloride or dilute HCL to get lead chloride.

Chemical Equation :

1. PbO + 2HNO 3 -----> Pb(NO 3)2 + H2O

2. Pb(NO 3)2 + 2NaCl ----> PbCl2 + 2NaNO3

Answer 2

To form Lead chloride(PbCl) from Lead Oxide(PbO) use 2 moles of HCl it will gives Lead chloride & Water.The reaction is as follows

PbO + 2HCl -------->PbCl2 + H2O

PbO (lead oxide)

2HCl(2 moles of Hydrogen chloride)

PbCl2 (lead chloride )

H2O (water molecule)
