For the reaction, PbO + H2 → Pb + H2O. Which of the following statements is incorrect?
PbO is the oxidising agent
H2 is the reducing agent
H2 is oxidised to H2O
PbO is oxidised to Pb
PbO is the oxidising agent and PbO is reduced to Pb. Hence, the statement 'PbO is oxidised to Pb' is incorrect.
State, giving reasons, whether the substances printed in bold letters have been oxidised or reduced.
(a) PbO+CO→Pb+CO2
(b) H2S+Cl2→2HCl+S
In C+H2O⟶CO+H2, H2O acts as a:
