Answer:

white precipitates of PbSO4 will appear

Step-by-step explanation:

Now let us first consider the reaction equation;

Na2SO4(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) ---->2NaNO3(aq) + PbSO4(s)

So, if i mix solutions of sodium sulfate and lead II nitrate, stir it and allow it to stand for a couple of minutes, i will begin to see the appearance of white precipitates of PbSO4.

This follows from the solubility rules. Sulphates are soluble in water except those of group II ions, Pb^2+ and silver I ion.
