Solution

$P b_{3} O_{4}$ on reaction with $H N O_{3}$ forms $P b (N O_{3})_{2}$ and $P b O_{2}$ .
$P b_{3} O_{4} + 4 H N O_{3} \to P b (N O_{3})_{2} + 2 H_{2} O + P b O_{2}$
$2$ moles of $P b (N O_{3})_{2}$ are from dilead(II) oxide while $P b O_{2}$ is from lead(IV) oxide.
Thus, it is $2 P b O . P b O_{2}$ .
