Question

classify the following reaction on the basis of the type Lead Nitrate on heating decomposes to give lead oxide Nitrogen dioxide and oxygen​

Answer 1

The given reaction is :-

(i) DECOMPOSITION REACTION

This is because a single reactant decomposes or breaks down to give more than one product.

Any reaction in which only one reactant is there and multiple products are formed is a type of Decomposition Reaction.

Decomposition Reaction are of various types :-

☸️ Thermal Decomposition (Heat)

☸️ Electrolytic Decomposition (Electricity)

☸️ Photolytic Decomposition (Light)

(ii) THERMAL DECOMPOSITION REACTION.

This is because the decomposition reaction is carried out by providing heat to the reactant.

The reaction given is as follows :-

$\boxed{\bold{\red{\sf{2Pb(NO_3)_2 \implies 2PbO+4NO_2 +O_2}}}}$
