Detailed Solution

On adding the concentrated sulphuric acid the white precipitate of lead sulphate is obtained.

The following reaction is obtained as the result,

Pb2++H2S acidic PbS (Black ppt) +H2O3PbS+8HNO33PbNO32+2NO+3S+4H2O3PbNO32+H2SO4 ( white pot) PbSO4+2HNO3(aq) (white ppt) PbSO4+2CH3COONH4CH3COO2Pb+NH42SO4

The obtained white precipitatedoes not dissolve in ammonium acetate. The precipitates of BaS and SrS are not black. Hence on adding the concentrated sulphuric acid the white precipitate of lead sulphate is obtained.

Hence the correct option is C.
