Asked by Stacey

So your saying that sulphuric acid is used to test lead in water?
Answered by DrBob222
Not exactly. You COULD use H2SO4 but it would be better to use a more neutral salt like Na2SO4 or K2SO4 to provide the SO4^-2. PbSO4 is slightly more soluble in acid solution; therefore, we usually see that the solution is only SLIGHTLY acidic.
