Encourage students to make and test predictions about the pattern of solubility among lead halides in this practical. Includes kit list and safety instructions.

In this experiment, students make predictions about the solubility of different lead halides and what might happen when solutions containing lead ions and various halide ions are mixed. They then test their predictions using dilute solutions containing the relevant ions.
