Pb²⁺ can be detected with chloride ions.Lead chloride Pbcl₂ forms and precipitate.It is soluble in concentrated solutions of sodium chloride or hydrochloric acid.The trichloroplombate (11) complex (chloroplombous anion) Pbcl₃ forms.it is poorly stable.For example,it is dissociated upon simple dilution of its solutions.Thus Pbcl₂ crystallizes in white grains.
