What acid is best for dissolving lead?
john taylor said:I should have given more information.I am real idiot when it comes to chemistry,I don't know why I have waited until I am 73 years old to start to try and learn something about it.I have been trying to dissolve various metals in acids.So far I have used Muratic acid to dissolve copper and iron.Now I want to dissolve lead but I don't think Muratic acid will work.Also are there any basis that will dissolve lead?
?

Have you ever tried to dissolve Pb metal in hot conc. HCl? If not, try it.
butcher said:lets make muratic acid (HCL), from that table salt.
NaCL sodium chloride (table salt), we will need an acid lets use sulfuric,
H2SO4'
NaCL + H2SO4 -- HCL + NaHSO4 (we can precipitate out the sodium hydrogen sulfate) or better distill it out.
fun stuff huh?
