The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The reaction between Lead Sulphide (PbS) and dilute nitric acid (\(HNO_3\)) proceeds as follows:

\(PbS + 2HNO_3 \rightarrow Pb(NO_3)_2 + NO + S + H_2O\)

Key Points:

  1. The products of this reaction are:
    • Lead nitrate (\(Pb(NO_3)_2\)) – a soluble salt.
    • Nitric oxide (NO) – a gaseous product.
    • Sulphur (S) – a precipitate.
    • Water (\(H_2O\)).
  2. Nitrous oxide (\(N_2O\)) is not formed during this reaction.
