Both lead and Mercury are metals, physically lead is solid at room temperature, however mercury is a liquid, but chemically they are both metals. Mercury is a classified as a transition metal, however technically isn't as it doesn't not have a partially filled d-orbital in either it elemental state or as one of it's common ions. Lead on the other hand belongs to the group known as the poor metals.

What two solutions react together to make lead chloride?

Anything with lead ions and anything with chloride ions. So, for example, lead nitrate and sodium chloride. Getting lead into solution is actually the tricky part here; most lead compounds are not particularly soluble.


What Mercury chloride?

Mercury(II) chloride, also known as mercuric chloride or corrosive sublimate, is a highly toxic compound that has been historically used in various applications like disinfectants, fungicides, and pesticides. However, its use has been greatly restricted due to its high toxicity and environmental hazards.


How do you separate lead chloride from a mixture of silver chloride and lead chloride?

Lead chloride can be separated from a mixture of silver chloride and lead chloride by adding water to the mixture. Silver chloride is insoluble in water, whereas lead chloride is soluble. Upon adding water, the silver chloride will precipitate out, leaving behind the lead chloride in solution.


Is Lead IV Chloride soluble?

no, lead (II) chloride is NOT soluble. Therefore, it will remain a solid.----------- I know that lead (II) chloride is soluble in hot water. I did it yesterday. I don't know what happens if its cold water, but PbCl2 is soluble in hot water.PbCl2(s)---heat---> Pb2+(aq)+2Cl-(aq)


How would you separate lead chloride from mixture of lead chloride and silver chloride?

One method to separate lead chloride from a mixture of lead chloride and silver chloride is to dissolve the mixture in water, then add hydrochloric acid to precipitate the lead chloride while keeping the silver chloride in solution. The precipitated lead chloride can then be filtered out. Another method is to use selective precipitation by adding a potassium chromate solution, which will form a yellow precipitate with the lead chloride while leaving the silver chloride in solution.

When tin chloride reacts with mercury chloride?

A white precipitate of mercury(I) chloride is formed when a small amount of tin chloride SnCl2 is put into a solution of mercury(II) chloride (HgCl2); adding more SnCl2 turns this precipitate black as metallic mercury is formed.


What is chemical compound HgCl3?

Mercury(III) chloride (HgCl3) is not a stable compound. Mercury typically forms compounds with a +1 or +2 oxidation state. The most common mercury chloride compounds are mercury(I) chloride (Hg2Cl2) and mercury(II) chloride (HgCl2).
