Question

Plumbosolvency implies dissolution of lead in:

• A. bases
• B. acids
• C. ordinary water
• D. $CuS{O}_4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C ordinary water

Plumbosolvency is the ability of a solvent, notably water, to dissolve lead. In the public supply of water, this is an undesirable property.

So the plumbosolvency implies the dissolution of lead in ordinary water.

Hence option $C$ is correct.
