Open in App
Solution

Preparation of lead sulphate from lead carbonate involves two steps. That is, at first, lead carbonate is treated with nitric acid. The chemical equation for the reaction is,

PbCO3+2HNO3Pb(NO3)2+H2O+CO2

In the second step, lead nitrate formed is treated with sulphuric acid to give lead sulphate. The chemical equation for the reaction is,

Pb(NO3)2+H2SO4PbSO4+2HNO3
