2 The pigment chrome yellow consists of lead chromate(VI), PbCrO4. It is made <strong>by</strong> precipitation<br />

when solutions of lead nitrate and sodium chromate(VI) are mixed.<br />

(a) Explain why (VI) is used to describe the CrO4 2– ion.<br />

(b) Write an ionic equation for the precipitation of lead chromate(VI), showing state symbols.<br />

(c) Pigments can be identified <strong>by</strong> their visible reflectance spectra. The spectra of three<br />

pigments are shown below, lettered A, B and C.<br />

reflectance (%)<br />

400 500 600 700<br />

wavelength/nm<br />

reflectance (%)<br />

Suggest, with a reason, which is the reflectance spectrum of chrome yellow.<br />
