Question

A metal nitrate A on heating gives yellowish brown coloured metal oxide along with brown gas B and a colourless gas C. An aqueous solution of A on reaction with potassium iodide forms a yellow precipitate of compound D. Identify A, B, C and D. Also, identify the types of reactions taking place. Metal present in A is used in an alloy which is used for soldering purposes.

Solution

The metal nitrate (A) is lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) on heating it produces lead oxide, Nitrogen dioxide (B) and oxygen gas (C)
(1) 2Pb(NO3)22PbO+4NO2+O2
on reaction with potassium iodide mixture of lead iodide and potassium nitrate forms
(2) Pb(NO3)2+2KIPbO2+2kNO3
Alloy made of using lead is used in Soldering purpose.
Therefore A=[Pb(NO3)2),B=NO2
C=O2 D=PbI+KNO3
(2) Decompostion type Reaction
(2) Double displacement type Reaction.
