    The salt was tested for various anions and cations. Tests confirmed the presence of acetate anion through the detection of vinegar smell upon heating with sulfuric acid and a reddish brown precipitate with ferric chloride. Tests also confirmed the presence of lead(II) cation through the formation of a white precipitate with hydrochloric acid, and yellow precipitates with potassium iodide and potassium chromate solutions. The salt was determined to contain lead(II) acetate.
