Question

Lead nitrate on heating gives

• A. lead oxide
• B. nitrogen dioxide
• C. oxygen
• D. all of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

all of these

Explanation:

• The reaction in which either two or more products are formed from a single reactant molecule is called a decomposition reaction.
• On heating, Lead nitrate $\left(\mathrm{Pb}{\left({\mathrm{NO}}_3\right)}_2\right)$ , it decomposes to produce Lead oxide $\left(\mathrm{PbO}\right)$, Oxygen molecule $\left({\mathrm{O}}_2\right)$ and Nitrogen dioxide $\left(N{O}_2\right)$. The chemical equation for the decomposition of Lead nitrate is:
• $2\mathrm{Pb}{\left({\mathrm{NO}}_3\right)}_2\to 2\mathrm{PbO}+4{\mathrm{NO}}_2+{\mathrm{O}}_2$

Final Answer:
Hence, the correct option is D.
