How would Pb(AC) 2 reacts with CO2? What will happen?

Dirk Kok  Follow

When carbon dioxide is into a cold dilute solution of lead acetate, a white precipitate of lead carbonate is obtained.

Pb(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O → PbCO3 + CH3COOH

This is essentially a double displacement reaction.

Do you mean lead acetate?

It is the soluble salt of lead. The other one is pb(NO3)2.

Adding CO2, can precipitate lead carbonate.

Pb( CH3COO)2+ CO2+ H2O----> PbCO3↓ + CH3COOH
