Answer
Only Q
Reason — Insoluble lead sulphate is prepared from insoluble lead carbonate or insoluble lead oxide by first converting them into soluble lead nitrate (with the help of dilute nitric acid).
PbCO₃ + 2HNO₃ → Pb(NO₃)₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
PbO + 2HNO₃ → Pb(NO₃)₂ + H₂O
The resulting solution is then treated with sodium sulphate solution to get lead sulphate as a white precipitate.
Pb(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → PbSO₄ ↓ + 2NaNO₃
