Answer

(a) Add silver nitrate solution to both the solution, Sodium chloride gives white precipitate of silver chloride. However sodium nitrate shows no reaction with silver nitrate.

(b) On using moist lead acetate paper, hydrogen sulphide reacts to form a black precipitate of lead(II) sulphide, whereas HCl gas does not react with lead salts and show no change.
