Question

PbO + NH₃ ---------------> Pb + 3H₂O + N₂ : is it a balanced equation????​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 PbO + 2 NH3 → 3 Pb + N2 + 3 H2O

Step-by-step explanation:

================================================================

no it is not a balanced equation

This is an acid-base reaction  PbO is an acid and NH3 is a base.

balanced equation:

3 PbO + 2 NH3 → 3 Pb + N2 + 3 H2O

hope it helps......................

=================================================================

This is an redox reaction:

3 PbII + 6 e- --------------> 3 Pb0 (reduction)

2 N-III - 6 e- -----------------> 2 N0 (oxidation)

In this reaction PbO is an oxidizing agent and  NH3 is a reducing agent.
