It'll decompose by heating, releasing carbondioxide:

Pb(II) or plumbous carbonate: Pb(CO3) --> PbO + CO2 or

Pb(IV) or plumbic carbonate: Pb(CO3)2 --> PbO2 + 2CO2

How to do a chemical test to distinguish between zinc powder and lead carbonate?

One method would be to add an acid such as HCl to each sample, and collect the gas produced. The zinc will produce hydrogen gas, which is flammable, while the lead carbonate will produce carbon dioxide, which is not flammable. Thus, one can distinguish between the compounds depending on whether or not the gas evolved in the reaction ignites.


What is the name of the yellow product produced from heating lead carbonate?

The yellow product produced from heating lead carbonate is called lead oxide, specifically lead(II) oxide, or litharge. When lead carbonate (PbCO₃) is heated, it decomposes into lead oxide (PbO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), resulting in this yellow compound. Lead oxide has various applications, including in the manufacture of glass and ceramics.


What are the chemical formulas of carbon dioxide and carbonate?

Carbon dioxide = CO2. Carbonate = MeCO3 (Me is the cation)


What test is used to assess a mineral based on its reaction with a substance that may or may not produce carbon dioxide bubbles?

Carbon dioxide and water are produced when acids react with carbonate compounds. Therefore, if an acid reacts with a particular mineral and produces carbon dioxide, that mineral contains carbonate compounds.


Which acid reacts with copper carbonate to produce copper chloride carbon and water?

Hydrochloric acid reacts with copper carbonate to produce copper chloride, carbon dioxide, and water. This reaction is a double displacement reaction where the hydrogen in the acid displaces the copper in the carbonate compound.
