Question
The preparation of Lead sulphate from Lead carbonate is a two-step process. (Lead sulphate cannot be prepared by adding dilute Sulphuric acid to Lead carbonate.)
Why is the direct addition of dilute sulphuric acid to Lead carbonate an impractical method of preparing Lead sulphate?

Solution
When dilute sulphuric acid is added directly to lead carbonate, the lead sulphate thus formed will be deposited on solid lead carbonate disconnecting lead carbonate from sulphuric acid.
