It is not advisable to use sulphuric acid in place of acetic acid for acidification while testing sulphur by lead acetate test. Assign reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Lead acetate will react with sulphuric acid to give white precipitate of lead sulphate. This will interfere with the detection of the test for sulphur.
`underset("Lead acetate")((CH_(3)COO)_(2))Pb+H_(2)SO_(4) rarr underset("(White ppt.)")(PbSO_(4))+2 CH_(3)COOH`

Acetic acid `(CH_(3)COOH)` will not interfere in the detection of sulphur.
