Formation of which complex, among the following, is not a confirmatory test of Pb 2 + ions
Options
- ALead sulphate
- BLead nitrate
- CLead chromate
- DLead iodide
Correct answer
B. Lead nitrate
Step-by-step solution
On adding H 2 SO 4 to Pb 2 + , white precipitate of lead sulphate, PbSO 4 is formed. By adding potassium iodide solution to Pb 2 + - Yellow precipitate of lead iodide is formed. The ppt dissolves in boiling water and on cooling recrystallises. By adding potassium chromate solution to Pb 2 + –Yellow precipitate of lead chromate is formed. But lead nitrate is a water soluble compound.
