Question

246. Action of dilute acids on metal carbonates:

(c) PbCO₃ + HNO₃ 🡪

Answer 1

• When acids react with metal carbonates, they will form salt, carbon dioxide, and water.
• Carbon dioxide gas will produce with brisk effervescence.
• When Lead carbonate reacts with Nitric acid, it will form Lead nitrate, Carbon dioxide, and water.
• The chemical equation for the given reaction is as follows:

$\underset{\mathrm{Lead}\mathrm{carbonate}}{{\mathrm{PbCO}}_3}+\underset{\mathrm{Nitric}\mathrm{acid}}{2{\mathrm{HNO}}_3}🡪\underset{\mathrm{Lead}\mathrm{nitrate}}{\mathrm{Pb}{\left({\mathrm{NO}}_3\right)}_2}+\underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}}{{\mathrm{CO}}_2}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}}$
