Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\blue{\underline{\underline{Question}}}}$

When a Compound X is heated, a brown colored gas is evolved along with oxygen.

a) Name the compound X and the brown colored gas.

b) Write the balanced equation.

c) Name the type of reaction.

$\mathfrak{\blue{\underline{\underline{Answers}}}}$

a) The compound X is Lead Nitrate $[Pb{(N{O}_{3})}_{2}]$ and the brown coloured gas is Nitrogen dioxide $[N{O}_{2}]$

b) $2Pb{(N{O}_{3})}_{2}(s) \underrightarrow{\:\:\:\Delta\:\:\:} 2PbO(s) + 4N{O}_{2}(g) + {O}_{2}(g)$

c) Decomposition Reaction.
