Question

When lead oxide reacts with carbon what will happen to carbon and lead

Answer 1

Answer:

Reduction reaction shall take place.

Explanation:

When lead oxide reacts with carbon the following reaction takes place :

2PdO(Lead Oxide) + C(Carbon) = 2Pb(Lead) + CO2(Carbon dioxide)

i.e.

2PdO + C = 2Pb + CO2

Hence there are 2 types of reaction taking place,

1. Reduction: Lead Oxide is getting reduced by Carbon.
2. Oxidation: Carbon is getting oxidized by Lead Oxide.
