Give balanced equation for the action of heat on lead nitrate.

Open in App

Solution

Thermal decomposition:
It is a decomposition reaction brought about by heat.
Lead nitrate() $Pb {({NO}_{3})}_{2}$ on thermal decomposition gives lead oxide( $PbO$ ), nitrogen dioxide( ${NO}_{2}$ ), and oxygen( $O$ ) gas.
$\underset{lead nitrate}{2 Pb {({NO}_{3})}_{2} (s)} \overset{∆}{\to} \underset{lead monoxide}{2 PbO (s)} + {\underset{nitrogen dioxide}{4 {NO}_{2} (g)}}_{} + \underset{oxygen gas}{O_{2} (g)}$
