Formation of which complex, among the following, is not a confirmatory test of Pb 2 + ions

Formation of which complex, among the following, is not a confirmatory test of Pb2+ ions
  1. Lead sulphate
  2. Lead nitrate
  3. Lead chromate
  4. Lead iodide

Solution

On adding H2SO4 to Pb2+, white precipitate of lead sulphate, PbSO4 is formed.  By adding potassium iodide solution to Pb2+ - Yellow precipitate of lead iodide is formed. The ppt dissolves in boiling water and on cooling recrystallises. 

By adding potassium chromate solution to Pb2+–Yellow precipitate of lead chromate is formed. But lead nitrate is a water soluble compound.
