A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey starts jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them,then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.

The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" The guy says, "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" says the bartender. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He eats everything in sight, the little twerp. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves. Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again.

While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" "Now what?" asks the patron. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper.

"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that cue ball he measures everything first!"

AQA acid topic has making lead chloride by mixing two solutions. the exams usually just have the 4 general acid equations, at higher tier you will have to do symbol equations.
if you have any problems, then feel free to PM me

just re read the question.

lead + acid Lead is too unreactive so will not react under normal conditions

lead oxide + acid - possibly but not a good method, reaction is very slow, Lead oxide would have to be powdered and acid would have to be hot. acid in excess so all lead oxide removed to allow filtration of insoluble lead chloride.

lead carbonate + acid - as above

Lead hydroxide - don't think this exists.

i suspect that the teacher has set a question where the above four methods are not really suitable for making lead chloride and then in the next lesson (s)he will introduce precipitation reactions.

do you know what exam board your son is sitting/

hi.

i'm a chemistry teacher so here goes

Lead chloride is an insoluble salt and therefor can be made by a precipitation reaction between two soluble salt solutions.

eg

Lead nitrate +sodium cloride -> lead chloride +sodium nitrate.



the sodium nitrate is soluble, so the lead chloride can be separated by filtration, wash with distilled water first and then dried by GENTLE warming.

Have a great christmas everyone.
