Question

Lead acetate solution is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid to form lead chloride and acetic acid solution

Answer 1

Lead acetate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to give the lead chloride as the main product and acetic acid as a side product. This reaction is an example of precipitation, or you can say double displacement reaction. The Cl atom present in the HCl makes a complex with Lead to give lead chloride. Let's understand the reaction with the help of chemical equation

Pb(CH3COO)2 + 2HCL(aq) -----> PbCl2(s) + 2CH3COOH(aq)

Answer 2

pb(ch3coo)3 + 2hcl gives pbcl2 + ch3cooh

This is a double displacement reaction
