Question

Hydrogen reacts with lead oxide to form lead and oxygen.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The given statement is false.

• Hydrogen $\left(\mathrm{H}\right)$ reacts with Lead Oxide $\left(\mathrm{PbO}\right)$ to form Lead $\left(\mathrm{Pb}\right)$ metal and Water $\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$.

${\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+\mathrm{PbO}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\to \mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)$

• This reaction is an example of a Redox reaction.
• The reaction in which a substance is oxidized and another substance is reduced simultaneously is called a redox reaction.
• Here, in this reaction, PbO is getting reduced and H₂ is getting oxidized.
