Question

$PbO+H_2\to Pb+H_{2}O$

Which of the following statements is wrong ?

• A. $H_2$ is the reducing agent
• B. PbO is the oxidizing agent
• C. PbO is oxidized to Pb
• D. $H_2$ is oxidizes to $H_{2}O$

Answer 1

The correct option is C PbO is oxidized to Pb

$\underset{+2}{Pb}O+\underset{0}{H_2}\to \underset{0}{Pb}+\underset{+1}{H_2}O$

$PbO$ is oxidized to $Pb$.
