Question

On heating strongly, Lead (II) nitrate yields:

• A. $PbO$
• B. $N{O}_2$
• C. $O_2$
• D. $NO$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A

$PbO$

B

$N{O}_2$

C

$O_2$

When heaed, lead (II) nitrate gives lead (II) oxide, Nitrogen dioxide and dioxygen:

$2Pb\left(N{O}_3{)}_2\right(s)⟶2PbO(s)+4N{O}_2(g)+O_2(g)$

Owing to this property, lead (II) nitrate is used in pyrotechnics (fireworks).
