Ans: The metal nitrate (A) is Lead nitrate(Pb(NO₃)₂)
On heating it produces Lead oxide, Nitrogen dioxide (B) and oxygen gas (C)
2Pb(NO₃)₂→2PbO+4NO₂+O₂
On reaction with potassium iodide mixture of lead iodide and potassium nitrate forms.
Pb(NO₃)₂+2KI→PbI₂+2KNO₃
Alloy made of using lead is used in soldering purposes.
Therefore A=(Pb(NO₃)₂)
B=NO₂
C=O₂
D=PbI+KNO₃(mixture of compounds)
