What do you observe when caustic soda solution is added to the following solution, first a little and then in excess:
Pb(NO3)2
Write balanced equation for this reaction.

Solution
\[\ce{Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaOH -> \underset{\text{White ppt.}}{Pb(OH)2↓} + \underset{\text{colourless}}{2NaNO3}}\]
In excess of alkali, white precipitate of Pb(OH)2 becomes soluble :
\[\ce{Pb(OH)2 + 2NaOH(excess) ->\underset{\text{Sodium Plumbate (colourless)}}{Na2PbO2 + 2H2O}}\]
