Complete the reaction: PbO + 2NaOH ----->

PbO + NaOH —–> Na₂PbO₂ + H₂O

On balancing we get

PbO + 2NaOH → Na₂PbO₂ + H₂O

Explanation

The given reaction is an acid-base reaction that is a neutralization reaction.

• Here PbO acts as an acid, NaOH as a base.
• Lead(II) oxide react with sodium hydroxide to produce lead(II)-sodium oxide and water.
• This reaction takes place at a temperature near 400°C.
