Question

Lead (II) acetate solution reacts with sodium sulfide solution. Which precipitate or precipitates will form?

PbS

NaC2H3O2

PbS and NaC2H3O2

no precipitates will form

Answer 1

Lead Sulfide is the answer

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is PbS.

Explanation:

When lead acetate reacts with sodium sulfide, it leads to the formation of some products.

The chemical equation for the reaction of lead acetate and sodium sulfide, it follows:

$Pb(CH_3COO)_2(aq.)+Na_2S(aq.)\rightarrow PbS(s)+2CH_3COONa(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of lead acetate reacts with 1 mole of sodium sulfide to produce 1 mole of black color of solid known as lead sulfide and 2 moles of sodium acetate.

Hence, the correct answer is PbS.
