Question

A. Identify the type of the following reaction:

$Pb {(NO 3)}_{2} (s) + Heat \to PbO (s) + 4 {NO}_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) .$

B. We will observe the emission of brown fumes in the experiment.

Solution

A. In the given reaction a single reactant lead nitrate, $Pb {({NO}_{3})}_{2}$ on heating is breaking down into different products like lead oxide PbO, nitrogen dioxide ${NO}_{2}$ , and oxygen gas $O_{2}$ . This is an example of a decomposition reaction. The reaction is endothermic in nature since it involves the absorption of heat. In other words, the given reaction is a thermal decomposition reaction.
B. These fumes are of nitrogen dioxide $(N O_{2})$ thus formed in the given reaction.
