plz solve it to me of chemistry
Answers
Answer:
The incorrect statements are (a) and (b)
as in this equation , carbon is getting oxidised and lead oxide is getting reduced
HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU
Explanation:
Which of the statements about the reaction below are incorrect ?
2PbO(s) + C(s) -> 2Pb(s) + CO2(g)
(a) Lead is getting reduced.
(b) Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised.
(c) Carbon is getting oxidised.
(d) Lead oxide is getting reduced.
(1) (a) and (b) ✔
(2) (a) and (c)
(3) (a), (b) and (c)
(4) All
Explaination -
Oxidation -
- Loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation number, Addition of Oxygen, Removal of Hydrogen.
And
Reduction -
- Gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation number, Removal of Oxygen, Addition of Hydrogen.
In this question,
In Lead oxide (PbO), Oxygen is removed,
it means,
- Lead Oxide is getting reduced.
And
In Carbon (C), Oxygen is Added,
It means,
- Carbon is getting oxidised.
Hence,
Lead Oxide is getting reduced.
And
Carbon is getting oxidised are correct statements.
Then,
Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised.
And
Lead is getting reduced are incorrect statements.
