Answer: No reaction occurs.
Explanation:
A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution.
Copper lies lower in the reactivity series and thus is less reactive than lead. Only a more reactive element is able to displace a less reactive element from its salt solution. As copper is less reactive than lead , it cannot lose electrons and thus cannot displace lead.

Answer:
In the 1H NMR spectrum of ethanol three different signals are observed, this is due to the existence of 3 types of hydrogens with different chemical environment. Hydrogens A (3.57 ppm) are more screened than C (1.10 ppm) due to the presence of oxygen (electonegative atom that removes electron density). The chemical environment of hydrogen B (4.78 ppm), attached directly to oxygen, is also different by resonating at a frequency different from the previous ones.
The hydroxylic hydrogen produces a singlet, the pair of carbon hydrogens one give rise to a quadruplet and the three hydrogens of carbon two produce a triplet.
