Question

Write a balanced equation when lead reacts with potassium hydroxide.

Answer 1

The reaction of lead with potassium hydroxide - When lead reacts with potassium hydroxide it forms potassium plumbate ( K₂PbO₂) and hydrogen gas ( H₂) will be evolved.

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+2\mathrm{KOH}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to {\mathrm{K}}_2{\mathrm{PbO}}_2\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\uparrow \\ \mathrm{Lead}\mathrm{Potass}\mathrm{ium}\mathrm{hydroxide}\mathrm{Potassium}\mathrm{plumbite}\mathrm{Hydrogen} \end{gathered}$$
