✓Answer
(a) When barium chloride solution is added to zinc sulphate solution, a white precipitate of barium sulphate is formed which is insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid or nitric acid.
ZnSO4 + BaCl2 ⟶ BaSO4↓ [white ppt.] + ZnCl2
(b) When lead nitrate is heated strongly, brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide are evolved and a yellow residue of lead oxide is left behind.
2Pb(NO3)2 ⟶ 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2
(c) Moist starch iodide paper turns blue-black.
Cl2 + 2KI ⟶ 2KCl + I2
