Answer

(a) When sodium chloride is added to a solution of lead nitrate, an insoluble white precipitate of lead chloride is formed.

2NaCl + Pb(NO3)2 ⟶ 2NaNO3 + PbCl2

(b) When barium chloride solution is added to a solution of Zinc sulphate, white ppt. of barium sulphate is obtained which is insoluble in dil. HCl or nitric acid.

ZnSO4 + BaCl2 ⟶ BaSO4 ↓ [white ppt.] + ZnCl2
