Question

For the preparation of the following salts - give a balanced equation in the following case.

Lead [II] chloride from lead carbonate [give two equations]

Answer 1

\[\ce{\underset{(Insoluble salt)}{\underset{Lead carbonate}{PbCO3}} + 2HNO3 -> \underset{(Soluble salt)}{\underset{Lead nitrate}{Pb(NO3)2}} + H2O + CO2}\]

\[\ce{\underset{Lead nitrate}{Pb(NO3)2} + 2HCl -> \underset{Lead chloride}{PbCl2} + 2HNO3}\]
