  When dilute sulphuric acid reacts with lead(II) nitrate solution, it gives off a white precipitate.

   

  Is the precipitate lead sulphate?? please help. thanks!

  Of course la.

  This is a giveaway question but you must make sure to write the chemical formula correctly.

  put in a (II) after lead

  depends on this qn how many marks

  if its only 1 mark, den jus write lead(II) sulphate

  if it asks u for a chemical eqn, den write

  
  H2SO4 (aq) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) ----> PbSO4 (s) + 2HNO3 (aq)

  rmb to balance and state symbols
