Question

Name the acid which on mixing with lead nitrate solution produces a white precipitate which is insoluble even on heating. please give the equation also.

Answer 1

sulphuric acidis the acid to be mixed

Answer 2

The acid which on mixing with lead nitrate solution produces a white precipitate that is insoluble even on heating is "sulphuric acid". It is described below.

• When lead nitrate solution is mixed with sulphuric acid, the white-colored precipitate formed is lead sulfate.
• During this reaction, two products, nitric acid, and the precipitate lead sulfate are formed. The precipitate is and remains insoluble even on heating.
• The reaction that takes place, on mixing sulphuric acid with the lead nitrate is given below.

Balanced reaction:

$Pb(NO_3)_2+ H_2SO_4 \longrightarrow Pb(SO_4)+ 2HNO_3$

• Thus, the acid which on mixing with lead nitrate solution produces a white precipitate that is insoluble even on heating is "sulphuric acid".
