Write the chemical equation of how nitrogen dioxide is formed from a metallic nitrate?

Open in App

Solution

By decomposition of lead nitrate, we get nitrogen dioxide in a laboratory.
When we heat the lead nitrate at a high temperature it decomposes into yellow colour lead oxide, brown colour fumes of nitrogen dioxide, and colourless oxygen gas.
$2 Pb {({NO}_{3})}_{2} (aq) \to 2 PbO (s) + {NO}_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) Lead nitrate lead nitrogen oxide dioxide$
