Answer:

PbS shows a very low solubility in water, and it is insoluble in organic solvents. Any "dissolution" process in acids (hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, aqua regia) is accompanied with a chemical reaction whereby H2S is liberated and the corresponding soluble Pb2+ salts are formed. hope that helps
