Yes. PbCl2 is a white solid, but it has a relatively low melting point for a metallic salt - just 501 degrees C as opposed to 801 degrees C for common salt sodium chloride or 786 degrees C for potassium chloride, or 772 degrees C for calcium chloride.

What will happen when a piece of zinc is added to dilute hydrochloric acid?

Zinc + Hydrochloric acid is a basic metal acid reaction. When the Zinc is added to the acid, the zinc dissolves and reacts with the acid, forming hydrogen gas and the salt Zinc Chloride. These sorts of reactions (metal + acid) will always result in a salt (in this case, zinc chloride) and hydrogen gas. The observations from this experiment would be white-gray solid is added to colorless liquid. Solid dissolves and a colorless, odorless gas is formed. Zn + 2HCl -----> ZnCl2 + H2
