The actual reaction is:
Pb(s) + 4HNO3(aq) -----> Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2NO2(g)
This is interesting for a number of reasons. Since the activity of lead is less than H2, (The Eo for the reduction of Pb2+ to the metal is -0.125 V, compared to the minimum -0.6 V or less that is required) the reaction cannot occur as a single replacement, e.g.
Pb(s) + 2HNO3(aq) -----> Pb(NO3)2(aq) + H2(g) does not occur. There are really two reactions at work.
1.) HNO3 oxidizes Pb to form PbO:
Pb(s) + 2HNO3(aq) -----> PbO(s) + H2O(l) + 2NO2(g)
Lead is oxidized from 0 to +2 and two moles of N are reduced from +5 to +4. This is a redox reaction.
2.) HNO3 then reacts with PbO and to form Pb(NO3)2:
PbO(s) + 2HNO3(aq) -----> Pb(NO3)2(aq) + H2O(l)
This is a double replacement reaction. This sequence of events is seen (albeit with a change in stoichiometry) for other some other metals as well, most notably copper and silver.

- Balanced the equation
Assuming an ideal metal acid reaction.
Pb + 2HNO3 --> Pb(NO3)2 + H2
Pb(NO3)2 + 2HCl = PbCl2 + 2HNO3 ... white ppts of lead chloride are formed....
Lead plus nitric acid equals lead nitrate and hydrogen gas. Lead react very slowly with a dilute acid such as nitric acid.

Aqueous Nitric acid solution reacts with solid Lead (II) oxide to yield aqueous solution of Lead (II) nitrate and Water .
Lead oxide plus nitric acid= lead nitrate
Lead nitrate + Sulphuric acid ----> Lead sulphate + Nitric acidPb(NO3)2 + H2SO4 ----> PbSO4 + 2 HNO3Warning : Lead sulfate and Nitric acid are toxic. Nitric acid is very reactive and may produce fumes of Nitric oxide when exposed to air.
lead nitrate and water
lead(II) nitrate and hydrogen gas
In this reaction, a colorless salt, lead nitrate is formed.

Nitric acid lead to nitrates.
lead(II) nitrate and hydrogen gas
In this reaction, a colorless salt, lead nitrate is formed.
if you mean lead the metal: Pb + 2H+ --> Pb+2 + H2
The battery contain lead, lead (IV) oxide, some lead salts and sulfuric acid. The chemical reaction is: Pb + PbO2 + 2 HSO4-+ 2 H+----------2 PbSO4 + 2 H2O
Lead nitrate is obtained.
The lead carbonate is dissolved in nitric acid and carbon dioxide is released.
