Correct answer: C

  1. Use standard salt-analysis reactions of lead salts

    In qualitative analysis, lead commonly shows the following sequence:

    • Passing H2S\mathrm{H_2S}H2​S through a lead(II) salt solution gives black precipitate of lead sulfide: Pb2++H2S→PbS↓+2H+\mathrm{Pb^{2+} + H_2S \rightarrow PbS\downarrow + 2H^+}Pb2++H2​S→PbS↓+2H+ So, A=PbSA = \mathrm{PbS}A=PbS.
  2. Oxidation of lead sulfide

    Lead sulfide on treatment with an oxidizing acid such as concentrated HNO3\mathrm{HNO_3}HNO3​ gets converted to lead sulfate: PbS→oxidationPbSO4\mathrm{PbS \xrightarrow[oxidation]{} PbSO_4}PbSoxidation​PbSO4​ Thus, B=PbSO4B = \mathrm{PbSO_4}B=PbSO4​.

  3. 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: Pb2++CrO42−→PbCrO4↓\mathrm{Pb^{2+} + CrO_4^{2-} \rightarrow PbCrO_4\downarrow}Pb2++CrO42−​→PbCrO4​↓ Hence, C=PbCrO4C = \mathrm{PbCrO_4}C=PbCrO4​.

  4. Match with options

    Therefore, A=PbS,B=PbSO4,C=PbCrO4A = \mathrm{PbS},\quad B = \mathrm{PbSO_4},\quad C = \mathrm{PbCrO_4}A=PbS,B=PbSO4​,C=PbCrO4​

    This matches Option C.

  5. Check other options briefly

    • A: starts with PbCl2\mathrm{PbCl_2}PbCl2​, not consistent with black sulfide formation sequence.
    • B: final product is lead acetate, whereas chromate test gives PbCrO4\mathrm{PbCrO_4}PbCrO4​.
    • D: contains Pb(SO4)2\mathrm{Pb(SO_4)_2}Pb(SO4​)2​, which is not the usual lead(II) sulfate species here.

So the correct choice is C.
