C. A white precipitate formed.
D. The solution turned yellow.
Answer is: C. A white precipitate formed.
Balanced chemical reaction:
Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2HCl(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + 2HNO₃(aq).
Lead(II) chloride (PbCl) is a white solid inorganic compound.
Solubility of lead(II) chloride is 10.8 grams in one liter of water and solubility product constant (Ksp) is 1.7×10⁻⁴.
