Correct answer: C
-
Use standard salt-analysis reactions of lead salts
In qualitative analysis, lead commonly shows the following sequence:
- Passing through a lead(II) salt solution gives black precipitate of lead sulfide: So, .
-
Oxidation of lead sulfide
Lead sulfide on treatment with an oxidizing acid such as concentrated gets converted to lead sulfate: Thus, .
-
Formation of lead chromate
Lead sulfate can be converted into a soluble lead salt and then on adding chromate ions gives yellow precipitate of lead chromate: Hence, .
-
Match with options
Therefore,
This matches Option C.
-
Check other options briefly
- A: starts with , not consistent with black sulfide formation sequence.
- B: final product is lead acetate, whereas chromate test gives .
- D: contains , which is not the usual lead(II) sulfate species here.
So the correct choice is C.
