Question
Lead is not affected by $$dil.\,HCl$$ in cold because
A.
$$Pb$$ is less electronegative than $$H$$
B.
$$PbO$$ film is formed which resists chemical attack by acid
C.
$$PbC{l_2}$$ protective coating gets formed on $$Pb$$ surface
D.
$$Pb{O_2}$$ film is always present on $$Pb$$ surface, which resist chemical attack
Answer :
$$PbC{l_2}$$ protective coating gets formed on $$Pb$$ surface
Solution :
$$Pb$$ with $$dil.\,HCl$$ forms protective coating of $$PbC{l_2}.$$
