Lead sulphide
Lead sulfide refers to two compounds containing lead and sulfur: Lead(II) sulfide, PbS, containing lead in the +2 oxidation state, naturally occurring as the mineral galena. Lead(IV) sulfide, PbS2, containing lead in the +4 oxidation state.

(black suspension) on reaction with hydrogen peroxide forms lead sulphate and water. Lead sulphate as well as water are colourless, therefore lead sulphite decolourises on addition of hydrogen peroxide.

What happens when H2O2 reacts with acidified KMnO4?

When you add the potassium permanganate, it reacts with the hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen in small “pockets”. These pockets of oxygen increase the intensity of the reaction and you get the cannon fire noise as the pockets of oxygen hit the flame.
