Question

On reaction of Lead Sulphide with dilute nitric acid which of the following is not formed?

Accepted Answer

Option D. When lead sulphide (PbS) reacts with dilute nitric acid, the reaction is a redox process where lead sulphide is oxidized and nitric acid is reduced. The overall reaction involves the transformation of PbS and HNO₃ to form lead nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂), sulphur, and nitrogen oxides, along with water. The specific nitrogen oxide formed depends on the reaction conditions, including the concentration of nitric acid and the temperature. Typically, with dilute nitric acid, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) are more common products than nitrous oxide (N₂O).
