What is the technique of separation in pure lead nitrate from lead oxide? Is it fractional crystallizations or sublimation.

Solution

Lead nitrate can be separated from lead oxide by fractional crystallisation. Fractional crystallisation is used when there is a difference in solubility of the compounds. Lead nitrate is highly soluble whereas lead oxide is not soluble.
