Sulphate ion reacts with lead acetate to form white precipitate of lead sulphate.
SO24+Pb(CH3COO)2PbSO4whiteprecipitate+2CH3COO
Lead sulphate reacts with ammonium acetate to form lead acetate and ammonium sulphate.
2CH3COONH4+PbSO4Whiteppt(CH3COO)2Pb+(NH4)2SO4soluble
Hence, lead sulphate dissolves in ammonium chloride solution.
